This moist and delicious Raspberry Sour Cream Mug Cake recipe is ready in 4 minutes or less and is topped with a yummy Vanilla Glaze. A quick dessert idea
Raspberry Sour Cream Mug Cake
Whenever you are craving a dessert for two, mug cake recipes come to mind. They’re easy to make, customizable, and ready in minutes.
This Raspberry Sour Cream Mug Cake is one of my favorites. It’s a moist vanilla cake, topped with fresh raspberries, and drizzled with a sweet glaze. The downside: there’s not going to be leftovers.
Whenever I put my girls to bed, I’m tired and just want to head to bed myself. But since Netflix is on, I get some sweet cravings while watching a show.
Some nights I go for that 100-calorie chocolate ice cream popsicles. Other nights I get a little elaborate and go for cakes in a mug.
It’s easy. I open the fridge and see what I have. Last night I had some raspberries, so I decided to add some sweet tanginess to my sour cream mug cake.
The sour cream gives a creamier texture while adding some tartness. It compliments the vanilla glaze perfectly.
If you don’t have any raspberries around simply add strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, sliced peaches, bananas, mangoes, etc.
Keep in mind that I use a large mug for this recipe. So usually my husband and I share one. Honestly, I only share because it cuts the calories in half, otherwise, I’d hide in the bathroom with my cake 🙂
When my kids want to “bake” and they’re not very patient for the oven to preheat, Mug Cakes are the solution. Of course, theirs always have sprinkles in the batter.
Here’s what it looks like before cooking it.

I love the idea of making my snack in a mug. Going to make this tonight but going to use some pear jam that I made the canned the other day instead of raspberries. Thank you for the recipe. It will be one that I will be using often.
Pear Jam sounds like the perfect addition to the cake batter. It should give it a special sweetness.
Let le know how it comes out!
