Came back from Hawaii yesterday morning. If it were up to me, I would never leave that island. Maybe there were other people feeling the same way, because my flight back to Vancouver was on the most empty airplane that I have ever been on… ever. There were people literally sprawled out horizontally on 3 chairs sleeping.
So I’m back to the cold and the rain. How can I possibly lift my spirits?
Another mug cake? I think yes! This Vanilla Bean Mug Cake will lift my spirits any day!
Ever since I made vanilla bean paste I have been searching for recipes that call for it. Because when I don’t have it in my house, the recipes are everywhere. When I finally do, I can’t find any recipe that calls for it.
But when I saw this recipe from Table for Two, I knew I needed to make it and satisfy my new found mug cake obsession.
What other types of mug cakes should I make next? If it were up to me, I would make this one over and over on repeat, but I need to have more recipes for the blog. May as well make a good chunk of them mug cakes!
If you try this recipe, let me know! Rate it, leave a comment and tag me with #atasteofmadness on Instagram! I always love seeing what you are creating!

Welcome home! When we went to Hawaii a few years back, it was VERY hard to leave. Hope you had a great trip. This mug cake sounds delicious! Love the use of vanilla bean paste, something I don't use very much.
I wouldn`t want to come back either! I have never visited hawaii, so I`m jealous! I would definite try this mug cake!
How simple and classic – looks like the perfect solo dessert!
Yes! Portioned perfectly 🙂
I wouldn’t want to leave Hawaii either, for sure! But I would console myself with your delicious vanilla bean mug cake! Yum! Hubby loves mug cakes even more than me and he’s going to be happy when I make it.
Ooh, your husband is a lucky man!
What a tasty treat! Mug cakes are so much fun sadly though I don’t have a microwave.
Oh, too bad! I was thinking about getting rid of my microwave, but then I wouldn’t be able to have mug cakes!! 😉
Everything about this is perfect! Sometimes I want something sweet but don’t want to make a whole cake or a whole batch of something! Love it!
Yes! This is perfect for those days 🙂
I love that this recipe uses vanilla bean paste because it has such excellent flavor! This is such a great recipe to keep on hand for those nights when you simply must have cake immediately!
I love adding the paste to almost everything I make! Thanks Jenni!
This mug cake sounds like the perfect pick-me-up sweet snack! So easy and delicious looking! And thanks so much for the recipe for vanilla paste! I’m giving that one a try today.
I hope you do! I make it so often 😉
I just love this when I need my own dessert and don’t have a lot of time. It’s so tasty! Thanks for sharing.
This is always my last minute dessert idea!! 🙂
Mmmmmmm! I love vanilla bean ice cream so I bet that I would LOVE this mug cake! It looks and sounds delicious! YUM!
Oooh.. That gives me an idea. Pairing this with vanilla bean ice cream next week 😉
Such a moist and a perfect vanilla cake! Now I can get my sweet tooth fix in a matter of few minutes.
It’s really a very dangerous recipe 😉
