Easy to make Lemon Cheesecake Mug Cake! Two and a half minutes in the microwave and you have sheer bliss! You will want to keep making it over and over!
My obsession with mug cakes continues! Don’t worry I will keep them spread out far enough so you don’t get sick of them! 🙂
I had a box of lemon cake mix sitting around for awhile because I picked up from the store on a whim. I figured I needed to use it up but I really didn’t want to make a whole cake.
My daughter had just celebrated her birthday and I made 2 cakes. One for her friends party and one for our family party! I thought it would be a good idea to just keep it simple and make individual servings!
While I was exploring different types of mug cakes I saw that you could make cheesecake in a mug. Now that would be interesting!
This mug cake, unlike my chocolate espresso mug cake, has cream cheese shoved down into the middle before I microwaved it!
It game me exactly what I was hoping for when it was done cooking. I had a mug cake that tasted like lemon cheesecake! SCORE!
So today a few of my friends and I are celebrating Ashley from The Recipe Rebel!
She is a lover of all things lemon which is why I thought it would be fitting to make something that included lemon! Ashley had a baby over the weekend and we couldn’t be more excited for her! Congratulations Ashley!

This is a fun and fast treat on a busy spring day. I used fresh leon juice instead of water. I did not have lemon cake mix and so I just used the lemon juice. It was wonderful.
