Vanilla Bean Mug Cake
Came back from Hawaii yesterday morning. If it were up to me, I would never leave that island. Maybe there were other people feeling the same way, because my flight back to Vancouver was on the most empty airplane that I have ever been on... ever. There were people literally sprawled out horizontally on 3 chairs sleeping.
So I'm back to the cold and the rain. How can I possibly lift my spirits?
Another mug cake? I think yes! This Vanilla Bean Mug Cake will lift my spirits any day!
Ever since I made vanilla bean paste I have been searching for recipes that call for it. Because when I don't have it in my house, the recipes are everywhere. When I finally do, I can't find any recipe that calls for it.
But when I saw this recipe from Table for Two, I knew I needed to make it and satisfy my new found mug cake obsession.
What other types of mug cakes should I make next? If it were up to me, I would make this one over and over on repeat, but I need to have more recipes for the blog. May as well make a good chunk of them mug cakes!

What a tasty treat! Mug cakes are so much fun sadly though I don't have a microwave.
