    No cake pan? No measuring cup? No problem.

    This week on Good Food, Evan talks to Audrey Scagnelli, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of College&Cook Magazine. Scagnelli shared her recipe for Cinnamon Mug Cake, which you assemble in a coffee mug, measuring the ingredients out with shot glasses and microwaving for one minute.

    Perfect for college students in dorm rooms, or, you know, lazy adults.

    Read below for the recipe!
