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 flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth batter without lumps.
- Microwave the Cake: Microwave the mug on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check the cake’s doneness by ensuring the top is set and not jiggly. If it needs more time, microwave in additional 15-second intervals until fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes to firm up before eating. Optionally, top with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or caramel sauce for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use a large microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Adjust microwave time depending on your device’s wattage.
- For a richer flavor, substitute vegetable oil with melted butter.
- Milk options can be dairy or plant-based according to preference.
- Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture.
