Take a microwave safe mug and grease well with either nonstick spray or butter. In a small bowl, mix wet ingredients and the softened butters until it makes a thick goop. Store the extra egg in a sealed container for breakfast or breading and make sure the cake mix is closed up tight until you use it again.

Add the cake mix and beat well for at least a minute to aerate the mixture. Go for longer if you can stand it, the more air in the batter the better it will rise and the more uniformly it will cook as the microwave heat fluffs it up.

Transfer into the mug and scrape the bowl with a spatula, you don’t want to waste the small amount of batter you have. Microwave for 1 minute, allow to stand in the microwave for 5 seconds after as it will be quite hot. Top with a scoop of frosting and you’re literally golden!
