Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
- Microwave the Cake: Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check the cake’s doneness — if it’s still too wet, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until fully cooked. The top should be set and not jiggly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying. You can top it with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Notes
- The texture of the mug cake can vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. Start with 1 minute and 30 seconds and adjust as needed.
- You can add a few chocolate chips, nuts, or a sprinkle of brown sugar for extra flavor.
- If you don’t have baking powder, you can substitute it with 1/8 tsp of baking soda and a splash of lemon juice.
