Pineapple Cake Recipe -- Baked In A Two Cup Mug

This pineapple cake recipe requires an oven proof mug that holds at least two cups.

After the cake is baked and cooled to room temperature wrap it in a clear bag with ribbon or raffia tied above the mug to hold the bag closed.

Another way of presenting this gift is to place the cake baked in a mug in a small wicker basket lined with a napkin or tea towel and include several bags of herbal tea or a small can of gourmet coffee.

1 oven proof mug with a volume of at least 2 cups
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 brown sugar, packed
4 ounces pineapple tidbits, drained
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
