You know how much we love easy and quick recipes, especially those made in the microwave, for when we don't have much time to cook. Today we've rounded up our best mug cake recipes (and seven beautiful mugs to make them look fancy) in case you feel like making them for breakfast or an afternoon snack one of these days.

Mug cakes are sponge cakes cooked right in the mug they're served in, so once you've prepared the batter in a bowl, you won't dirty anything else—no pans, no oven, nothing—making them super convenient. Plus, fresh out of the microwave, they're so delicious they practically disappear in an instant.

There are so many breakfast cup or mug models that it's hard to choose. The fun part is there's something for everyone. For example, if you like design, you'll find this Pantone-style mug—in this case, yellow—really fun for your morning coffee or tea, or for making your favorite mug cakes.

Mugs Game Of Thrones

Fans of the Game of Thrones series also have plenty of options, as we can find mugs from practically all the houses or families of the popular show. For example, this mug that says, "I'm not a princess, I'm a khaleesi," costs just 11.99 euros, as does the Queen in the North one, to name a few examples.
