Unicorn Confetti Mug Cake

Unicorn Confetti Mug Cake

Mug cakes are ideal for kids to make. They are super simple with minimal clean-up. My kids really enjoy making this colorful unicorn confetti cake and have even made some gift jars to give to their friends. Simply take a mason jar, fill it with the dry ingredients, and put a label on the front with instructions. The recipient of this treat just needs to add the wet ingredients for their own mug cake. This cake tastes great with cream cheese frosting and a scoop of vanilla ice cream or by itself.
