Of late, I have become a huge fan of mug cakes. It is quick, easy to bake and then serve, and makes a perfect party dessert for my guests. In fact, I even bake mug cakes for myself over the weekend and chill them for my busy weekday breakfast option.
This recipe for carrot cake is absolutely fuss-free and totally forgiving if you want to play around with the ingredients.
