Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract into the mug. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Microwave the Cake: Place the mug in the microwave on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check the cake’s doneness by observing if the top is set and no longer jiggly. If it’s still wet, microwave in additional 15-second increments until fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before eating. Enhance with optional toppings such as whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid accidents.
- You can substitute milk for any plant-based milk like almond or soy milk.
- For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance’s power; adjust accordingly.
- Enjoy the cake immediately, as the texture is best fresh.
