“After putting our little one down for the night, Kenneth and I have developed a playful tradition of scavenging through our fridge and pantry to concoct sweet treats using whatever ingredients we have on hand,” Meiko shares. “It’s become a friendly competition to see who can create the tastiest dessert, and this challenge is all about mug cakes.”

To spice things up, Kenneth enlisted ChatGPT for his recipe, while Meiko turned to Gemini AI. In the end, Kenneth’s dessert won the late-night bake-off challenge and the couple shared the winning recipe for all to enjoy.
