2 Minute Coffee Cake in a Mug

I'm all about quick recipes that require little to no effort. I'm trying to drop about 30 pounds, but, coffee cake is my favorite. So I'll cheat just this once. 


Okay, maybe twice.

2 Minute Coffee Cake in a Mug 


What You'll Need:
(2) tbsp Butter
(2) tbsp Sugar
(2) tbsp Applesauce
(3) drops Vanilla Extract
(3/8) cup Flour
(1/8) tsp Baking Powder
(1) pinch of Salt
(1) tbsp Brown Sugar 
(1/4) tsp Cinnamon

What to Do:


  • In a mug soften 1 tbsp of butter in microwave, about 5 seconds. You don’t want it melted, just soft. Stir in 2 tbsp of sugar and mix until well incorporated. Stir in applesauce, vanilla (just a few drops), flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt. Use the back of your spoon to smooth it out in the bottom of the mug.
  • In a separate, small bowl, combine 1 tbsp of butter, 2 tbsp of flour, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Use your fingers to to pinch the butter and mix it in with the other ingredients. When it starts to look like lumpy sand and all ingredients are combined, pour on top of cake batter in mug.
  • Cook in the microwave for 50-80 seconds depending on your microwave. At 1 minute, my microwave cooks it perfectly. It will look just barely set on top. You don’t want to overcook it and things tend to get ugly fast in the microwave. Eat white it’s still warm. YUM

    Store Your Makeup the Right Way

    If you splurge on your face paint, this post is for you. Take care of your things or you'll cry. 
    Everyone needs a crafty way to store their makeup. Knocking your mascara into the sink or your lipstick onto the floor is just unacceptable, you know? 
    Don't lose your foundation in the messy basket you put your cosmetics in by the sink & mirror. 


    Noooo. Your poor brushes. 

    That makeup bag you've had for years... It's time to ditch it. Don't you hate when you open it to grab something and everything spills? Or a powder has broken and spills out everywhere? Ugh. Tragic. 

    THIS...

     LEADS TO THIS...


    There is a better (& inexpensive) way. 

    Buy some mason jars. Paint them. Add glitter. Whatever your style may be, keep your sh*t organized. 






    I love DIY projects. I found this really cute way to glam up your makeup jar on pinterest & I already made three! 



    Adorable! How do you store your goods? :)
