Servings: 1 person
Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 1 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A dash of salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sprinkles
Instructions
- Begin by combining the dry ingredients in a microwave-safe mug. Measure out the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt into the mug and mix them thoroughly.
- Next, incorporate the wet ingredients. Pour in the milk, add the melted butter, and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined, ensuring a smooth batter.
- If you wish to add a bit of fun to your mug cake, sprinkle in some colorful sprinkles.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook for 70 to 90 seconds. The exact time will depend on your microwave's power. Your cake is ready when it has risen and set.
Notes
Due to variations in microwave power, exact cook times can be tricky. Begin with 70 seconds, then let the cake cool for 1 minute. Check if it's set, and if needed, microwave for an additional 15-25 seconds. Allow the cake to rest in the microwave for another minute. The key to a perfect mug cake is to stop cooking slightly early; this ensures a soft interior as it will continue to cook while cooling.
