MogoBlog MogoLicious Tasty Tip of the Day:  Don’t worry if you don’t own a blender — you can easily use a fork to mash up the carrots and the wet ingredients. Then just pour everything into greased ramekins and pop them into the microwave.

Instructions (make in your MogoBox 15 oz. Classic White Mug or Glass Mug):

Instructions for Carrot Mug Cake:

1. In a small bowl, mix dry ingredients (not carrots). If you have a blender or Magic Bullet, mix all wet ingredients and blend. (For those without a blender, simply fork-mash the carrots very well before combining with the other wet ingredients.)
2. Then mix dry into wet, and stir.  
3. Pour into greased ramekins or a little dish or mug.
4. If using the microwave, cook for 1 minute 20 seconds (or more or less, depending on the strength of your microwave). Or you can cook this in the oven at 350F for around 15 minutes.
5. Let cool before trying to pop out.
6. Frost Cake.

Instructions for Frosting:

1. Blend everything together in a small food processor.
2. Frost them just before serving, or frost earlier and then storing the cupcakes in the fridge, due to the perishable nature of the ingredients.
3. Leftover frosting can be stored for a few days in the fridge, covered. Variation ideas: Add pumpkin, or shredded carrot and pineapple for a carrot cake dip, or cinnamon and walnuts…

Cook Time: 1 minute 20 seconds
