Instructions
-
Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a coffee mug and microwave for 5 seconds to soften. Stir in the sugar, honey, applesauce, and vanilla until well-mixed.

Tips:
- Berry Varieties: You can mix and match the berries based on your preference—blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries all work beautifully. Frozen berries can be used as well, but they may make the cake a little wetter.
- Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter coffee cake, you can increase the sugar in the batter or streusel topping. If you want a lighter version, you can reduce the sugar.
- Vegan Version: To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based milk, vegan butter, and omit the sour cream or replace it with a non-dairy yogurt.
- Add-ins: You can add a handful of chopped nuts (like almonds, walnuts, or pecans) to the streusel topping for added texture and crunch.
- Serving Ideas: This cake is great served warm, but you can also top it with a little whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Serving Suggestions:
- With Coffee or Tea: As the name suggests, this Mixed Berry Mug Coffee Cake pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea. It’s an ideal dessert or snack for your afternoon break.
- Toppings: Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
