Blueberry Lemon Mug Cake Recipe
And so the blueberry addiction continues in my house….and this recipe totally sent my low carb diet off the rails!
I let my lil missy take control of measuring and mixing all of our test versions of this recipe (and yes, that meant I had to keep stocking up on blueberries because she couldn’t stop eating them from the container!!) but I 100% participated in the taste testing.
And, of course, this Microwave Blueberry Lemon Mug Cake isn’t just a recipe to make once….
We must have made it at least 6 times and when we finally got it right, (the perfect level of moist-ness) I decided we needed to make it just one more time to get the perfect photos. (My first set of photos weren’t nearly this pretty. I had removed the cake from the mug, but mug cakes don’t look so great out of the mug, lol.)
I made the mistake of leaving the room “for a few minutes” while it cooled and when I came back 30 minutes later to do the photos, “someone” had eaten half of my mug cake!! (so we had to make it one last time – glad I did, these photos came out amazing!)
Needless to say, this blueberry lemon mug cake is about to become a “I want dessert but don’t want to bake anything” staple.
And, let’s be real, while mug cakes are meant to be shared….there’s also NOTHING wrong with eating the entire mug yourself while bingeing on Netflix….not that I would know anything about that one. 😉
Since this is so easy, this also makes a great hands-on activity for sleepovers…I know my lil missy would LOVE to impress her friends by showing them how to make this!
Flavor-wise, I am loving the blueberry-lemon combination. It’s the perfect amount of sweet and tart. Definitely don’t skimp on the blueberry lemon icing/drizzle – It’s sooo good!
Blueberries are still in season for several more months so stay tuned for even more blueberry recipes!

The recipe is for two servings. Do I use half of each ingredient in each mug to make the two servings?
You can share it or split it in half after it’s cooked.
I made this just a few minutes ago. It was great but a little too lemony for my taste. Next time I make it I might decrease the amount of lemon juice slightly or just make a regular vanilla glaze instead of a lemon glaze to drizzle. I also had to cook it just a little longer about 2.5 minutes but that’s probably just my microwave. Otherwise this is a delightful recipe and I will keep it on hand when I crave something easy and sweet.
