Let's bring mug cakes back! Confession, I actually haven't made one all summer since I've had pancake and waffle accessibility in my kitchen and not just a microwave. However, digging through the paper folder where I keep my scraps of to-be-posted recipes, I stumbled upon this gem. This is from last August but I think it needs to be whipped up again...now! There's no better time for a raspberry mug cake than during raspberry season!

But I have some sad news. I've only gottenΒ fresh raspberries once this summer! I made the chia jam with some of them, and snacked on some. But unless I want to spend $5 on a tiny container, raspberries are not happening. The summer berries/small fruitΒ in my area have been majorly lacking. The only things that ever seen good and are priced well are grapes and blueberries. Strawberries were good in June, but then that was lost too. Summer fruit sadness is a major thing right now. I have been able to get my hands on some good white peaches (the best type) and cherries for awhile, but no more cherries.

These are the times when I really wish I could grow a garden. I could have my own raspberry bush. Even some blackberries! O how I miss blackberries. As I'm typing this (on Saturday), I know these is a lovely little mini watermelon in the kitchen that I bought, waiting to be cut. I hope that will be good and appease my summer fruit woes. Now the summer veggies? They have been good at least. Corn, tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, peppers, eggplant, all the greens. No grocery trip is complete without my lugging gallons of the good stuff back home. It really is a lovely thing and I love gathering as much as I can to bring home and then see what sparks my creativity for a new recipe.

        True, but the berries are SO expensive pre-frozen. I should planned better and bought more strawberries on sale, but then again, it's hard to keep fruits stocked when there are four hungry teens in the house.

          That's not true. It's proven that frozen have the same benefits, if not more, than fresh, as they are frozen at peak freshness.

    We've had some good blueberries and strawberries here (and good prices on them too), but raspberries and blackberries are still pretty expensive...although Meijer did just recently have blackberries on sale for $1 a carton. My kids go through them like crazy, though. I can't keep them in the house long enough to do any baking with them!

    I need to try Millet flour. I do love a quick and easy mug cake. It's kind of my go to midnight snack ( something I really need to stop doing) but who can resist the lure of a gooey microwave mug cake? As always you have created yet another yummy treat- one that I can try as soon as I get some Millet flour.

    The simplicity of this dessert makes it even more beautiful! I don't have all of these ingredients on hand right now but I'm tempted to go out and get them as it sounds like I could do this and add other sorts of fruit or sweet treats for various flavorings, right? Raspberries are one of my favorite berries but I don't see it used too much for baked items, this sounds perfect.

    WOW! This mug cake is so adorable and yummy looking! I've always wanted to try a mug cake out - need to buy a ramekin first!

      Do it! I like mine in ramekins and think they "cook" better in a wide open space, than a tall mug!

    I can't believe you have been neglecting mug cakes!!! Actually I have too hehe πŸ˜€ I've only made one all summer as well, and it was that chocolate cherry one from your recipe! But vanilla + raspberry is another of my favorite flavor pairs, so I might have to try this one too <3 And yeah raspberries are a ripoff, I rarely buy them, but my mom was loving them this summer so I stole a few πŸ™‚

    I agree, bring the mug cake back. We have had a horrible time with raspberries this year. They are expensive and seem to mold the very next day! I think I need to buy only a handful and enjoy them in this cake.

    I have only bought one container of raspberries this summer as well. Why are they so expensive? I always have frozen blueberries and frozen cherries on hand, they are my favorite.
    This mug cake looks easy and delicious, two of my recipe requirements!

    Millet flour? Now that's a new one to me. Certainly not available around here but I guess my Vitamix would probably help me with some grinding action. Does it work just the same way regular flour does?
    I hear you on the raspberry prices! That's why I'm anxiously awaiting the ones in my mum's garden to finally grow. Another bonus is that we've got yellow ones, too, which are hardly found in stores.
