It’s exam week at my school next week!
But in this new role reversal as a teacher, I am looking forward to exams. Exams let me catch up on marking, and maybe even actually have a life. Something most of my students don’t think I have (and almost rightly so at the moment).
But I don’t have any free time yet. Right now, I’m marking, tutoring other students, and creating a HUGE batch of retests for my students, so that they can practice every kind of math concept that I could possibly throw at them during their final exam.
Maybe I do deserve that “Best Teacher Ever” mug that one of my students gave me last week.
(and maybe I should have used that mug for this mug cake)
I have made this mug cake at least 4 times this past month, but I have been too busy to post it.
(Obviously not too busy to make it… it literally takes less than 5 minutes to make)
One of my favorite things to do with this mug cake is put the icing that I put on top of this mug cake, and eat it when it’s warm.
I will be sure to make this one more time before exams begin. My excuse: I need the energy to make it through the week!
Not that I really needed an excuse..

That is so lovely one of your students gave you a mug, and what better to use it for than mug cake? More specifically that lovely concoction above – delicious! Love the colours too 😀 I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, and get your holidays soon soon 🙂 xx
This might be too dangerous to have at my fingertips to make in such a short time…strawberry shortcake is my favorite dessert of all time and this just might be too handy to have that on hand at all times, lol. Looks good. I will give it a try…seems like a whole lot of sugar, is that measurement right? Thanks.
I did use that much sugar. This mug cake is quite indulgent. I have also tried it with less (3 tablespoons) which was good too, but it all depends on how sweet you like your cakes.
This recipe might be my new favorite thing- looks so easy and delicious! 🙂 – Sarah

I heart mug cakes! Have never tried with strawberries – is winter here in Sydney so we are strawberry-free #boo Will make this when the berries are in season.
I used to teach high school, and I totally remember exam time! I also remember spending hours grading all the exams, and I think this strawberry mug cake would be a requirement to help get through the grading! And there is a nice long break coming (hopefully), too!
love quick mug cakes,this looks very tempting!
What a wonderful idea! I've only seen the chocolate version before but this one with fresh strawberries is really calling to me. We are having our grandsons over on Thursday and I think I'll make one for each of them too 🙂 Good luck with exam week!
