Recipe of Mug Cake
List of Ingredients
Instruction

My oven has broken and this Mug Cake is the last thing I had bake before the upper heating element has said goodbye. I really wanted to try this recipe, as no other is suitable for the current season and its long walks.

And Mug Cake is so handy!

There is a magnificent autumn weather now in Northern Savo, the classic golden fall (have a look at carousel). Finnish language has even a separate word for this time of year, ruska. The Finnish word “ruska” is borrowed from the Sami language and originally came from the old word “bruskea”, which meant the color red. The season is perfect for long walks in the forest with a thermos and something tasty in a backpack.

So it seems like the Mug Cake will be the most favourite recipe of this autumn for me and my beloved.

Warmly. Cozy. Frienldy. Quickly. Chocolately. Funny (Please, somebody stop me!).

Let’s start to bake as soon as possible so as not to miss another wonderful autumn day.
