Microwave Mug Cake (Single Serving)
But this method is different. It's quick, requires minimal cleanup, and satisfies my sweet tooth without the hassle. Now I make these cakes at least twice a week.
Servings 1 people
Ingredients
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Tiny pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients: Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a microwave-safe mug. Stir with a fork until combined.
Add wet ingredients: Pour in milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly for 30 seconds until smooth with no lumps.
Microwave: Place mug in center of microwave. Cook on high power for 60-90 seconds, watching carefully.
Check doneness: Top should look set and spring back when touched. If needed, cook 10-15 seconds more.
Cool and serve: Let sit for 1 minute. Add desired toppings and enjoy.
