Let the celebrations begin! A single-serve All Natural Funfetti Mug Cake that’s gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-free! Perfect for a quick holiday or birthday treat for one. It’s the quickest dessert recipe baked right in the microwave!
Hip, hip, hooray! By now you know that seeing some gluten-free Funfetti means…BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS! That’s right! Tomorrow, June 6th, is my 21st birthday! You know what that means…Besides some Funfetti rainbows, sprinkles, and sunshine, I’ll be going out to buy a small bottle of vodka JUST so I can (finally) make a healthy gluten-free and vegan penne vodka recipe! I’ve been waiting to make a penne vodka recipe for the blog for so long! It used to be a favorite dish of mine back in the day.
While we wait for me to make that recipe and post (I promise I won’t wait months and years like most of my recipes!), I’m sharing some Funfetti instead. No birthday is complete without Funfetti (i.e. tons of sprinkles and color!) No one wants a gloomy birthday and when sprinkles and FUNfetti are involved, you’ll never see a frown on anyone’s face! Birthday’s never really go my way. Something bad or extremely lackluster usually occurs. So I always have to plan ahead and make sure there is tons of good food and sprinkles no matter what.
In the spirit of all things single-serve, mug cake, and Funfetti, this all natural, gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free Funfetti mug cake is just the breakfast, snack, dessert, any time of day birthday or holiday treat for one and made in just about 90 seconds! Think a personal-sized birthday cake (or cupcake) ready at the stir and button pushing of a hand! If you happen to be by yourself on your birthday (or any holiday), a single-serve treat is just what you need. No artificial colors or dyes in this Funfetti delight! And that yellow frosting? I think you can guess where that comes from…
All Natural Funfetti Mug Cake
- ⅓ Cup + 1 TB All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
- 3 TB Unsweetened Applesauce
- 2 TB Water
- 1 Tsp Allergy-Free Sprinkelz (plus more to top)
- ½ Tsp Baking Powder
- ½ Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- Liquid Vanilla Stevia Drops (to taste)
- Frosting:
- 1½ TB Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder
- 2 TB Water
- ¼ Tsp Turmeric
- In a small microwave safe bowl or mug, combine all the cake ingredients and mix to combine.
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds (depending on the power of your microwave).
- To make the frosting, simply mix together the protein, water, and turmeric in a small bowl.
- Flip the cake upside down onto a plate, top with the frosting and sprinkle on some more sprinkles!
I bet you’re waiting for my “20-year insights”, but that will have to wait for another time, another post. One thing I (demand) everyone do on their birthday is to nix the technology and get off their laptops, phones, and anything related to social media (okay…maybe one Instagram birthday selfie), but other than that, go have fun in real life with the ones you love! And honestly…I do NOT feel 21; that’s just insane! We’ll see if it actually hits tomorrow when I wake-up!
So tell me:
+ How did you celebrate your 21st birthday?

This is a great little cake!
Sure is, thanks!
I love making mug cakes. YOu can make them in minutes and there are no leftovers. I’ve had a snack attack and made my own cake on the spot– so good. thanks for another recipe
Exactly! Right on demand!
This look delicious – I’ll definitely need to try. I’m always looking for more vegan recipes. Hope you had a great birthday!
Thank you! It is fantastic any day of the week!
Ooh love the idea of a funfetti mug cake! And happy birthday too! x
Thank you, thank you!
This looks really good! I love using the turmeric for the yellow frosting, it’s perfect. 🙂 Happy belated birthday!
It is magic! One of the best spices to always have on hand 🙂 And thank you!
Yumm! I am trying this today! I don’t like to eat sweets a lot so I don’t want to have a whole cake sitting around for me to stuff my face whenever, but this is perfect to curb my sweet tooth. What protein powder do you use? I haven’t been able to find a good one that isn’t gritty?
Please see the ingredients list. Specifics are linked.
This sounds delicious ! ? I’ll pin it for later. Also, happy birthday ! ?Even if it’s a bit late ?
Thank you so much!
Love a mug cake!!!
Yup, always fun!
Happy Birthday! 🙂 Wish I was 21 again! This mug cake looks fab!
Thank you so much, Laura! xo
This is so fun! I will have to make this for my little monkey sometime 🙂
All the “monkeys” will enjoy 😉
Mug cakes rock!!!
Yes, they do!
I just got a new bag of gluten free flour, I’m definitely going to have to try this!
You can really use anything you have for a small mug cake 😛
Happy (if but a little late) birthday! Lovin’ the vodka purchase on account of a recipe <3 I spent my 21st birthday on a former city accordion bus on the Queensland countryside. I was woofing at the time, and received a multipack of socks (very appreciated after a near year of backpacking actually!) and some wooden grill skewers (this I have yet to this day not figured out why) – so an odd one indeed!
I am about to turn 24 this year, and I do not feel it at all. Looking around fellow mid 20's people; most of the lot seem to have their act together and me, I feel like I don't ever wanna have my act together. Peter Pan syndrome! Hope you had a brilliant day – lots of love!
Our 20s are for adventuring and trying new things! We don’t have to have our act together!
Thank you, Linnea! xo
This sounds absolutely delicious!!! I am going to have to make these for my next movie night in with the gals. 😉 Thank you for sharing. 🙂
O that would bring the fun 😉
Happy Birthday Rebecca! I hope you have a fabulous day! TWENTY-ONE! (I do feel really old now…)

Haha, thank you! (Never old until you say you’re old!)
I’m vegan and gluten-free and it’s always hard to find a good dessert. I will definitely check out this one!
This is just what you need!
Happy 21st for yesterday! Now I feel VERY OLD! My 21st was a very, very long time ago but I celebrated it with friends and with the man I went on to marry a few years later 🙂 I have yet to make a mug cake (I know! Mad!), this one looks irresistible

Well I think this week is the week to make your first mug cake!
This is delicious! Mug cakes are so awesome for those late night “I really want cake!” moments.
Haha, that is exactly right!
This looks so awesome!! I recently started eating healthier / working out, so I’m on the lookout for healthier treats I can have when my sweet tooth won’t quit!
This is the perfect treat to end the day!
Happiest of birthdays! 21–geez, so young and so talented 🙂 Enjoy
Thank you, Kristen xoxo
What a cute idea and it looks delish! I like it that it is one serving. That is super convenient. Thank you for sharing.
For sure! Thank you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA! ❤️ Hope you’re having an amazing day so far. And no, I don’t expect a reply from you any time soon. Hopefully you’re out somewhere, spending quality time with your loved ones & with the technology switch off ? 21 is such a special age. Enjoy! xxx

Brilliant and fun! It’s like a mini celebration in a mug anytime you want.
Haha, that is correct!
Great idea and alternative for those tasty but unhealthy mug cakes. I’m always looking for a fast made snack for those long study sessions!
Mug cakes make great snacks, ha!
