Gluten-Free SunButter & Jelly Mug Cake Recipe for Quick Dessert

Craving something sweet and homemade but short on time? If ice cream or store-bought cookies won’t cut it, a mug cake is the perfect solution. With minimal prep and a minute in the microwave, you’ll have a warm, single-serving cake ready to enjoy.

This Sunbutter and jelly mug cake is fast, pantry-friendly, and requires no gluten-free flour blend. It’s naturally gluten free and nut free, and you can easily make it dairy free by swapping heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk. Because the recipe uses common ingredients, it’s a great go-to when a quick dessert is needed—whether you’re treating yourself or satisfying a child’s polite request for cake.
