More About This Recipe

  • Tasty tiramisu…made in the microwave? It’s true! With this easy mug cake, we’ve hacked all the flavors of the classic Italian dessert. But no ladyfingers needed. Start with basic Bisquick™ and add some sugar and butter. Then soak it with instant espresso and amaretto. Two minutes later, you’ll be taking a tender cake out of the microwave, ready to be topped with a whipped mascarpone and cream mousse. Deliciously simple! One of the best mug cakes we’ve ever tried.
