Duncan Hines Debuts New Baking Mixes for Microwaving in a Mug

Duncan Hines offers fresh-baked, single-serving desserts with the convenience and quickness of microwave cooking in new "Perfect Size for 1."

You just need to pour the pre-portioned mixes into a mug along with water and cook it for about a minute (may vary). Additionally, you can customize (or experiment with) the dessert by substituting water for various other liquids (such as juice, milk, liquor, soda, tea, coffee) and/or by adding mix-ins (like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit).

Duncan Hines boasts that all Perfect Size for 1 dessert mixes are made with "real, simple ingredients and contain no added flavors or artificial preservatives."

The new dessert mixes come in 18 different varieties including:

- Sunrise Varieties - Blueberry Muffin, Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Corn Muffin, Banana Muffin, Chocolate Chip Muffin, and Apple Cinnamon Muffin
- Funtastic Flavors - S'mores Cake, Confetti Cake, and Cookies and Cream Cake
- Fruit Flavors - Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon Cake, and Pineapple Cake
- Decadent Treats - Chocolate Lover's Cake, Brownie, Carrot Cake, German Chocolate Cake, Vanilla Bean Cake, and Caramel Cake

Duncan Hines Perfect Size for 1 cake mixes are currently available at select retailers and will soon be available nationwide.

While the concept of microwaving cake batter in a mug isn't new, this is likely the first time a major baking brand has offered a mix specifically for that purpose.
