Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug
- Microwave
- Spoon or small whisk
- Measuring spoons and cup
- Small bowl (optional for mixing)
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup 40g plain flour / all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons 60 ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 3 tablespoons 45g caster sugar / superfine sugar
- 1 tablespoon 15 ml vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add wet ingredients: To the dry ingredients, add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and vinegar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
- Optional add-ins: If you’re using sprinkles, fold them into the batter.
- Microwave: Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Start checking at 1 minute to ensure it doesn’t overflow or overcook. The cake should rise and firm up when done.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cake cool for a few minutes before enjoying straight from the mug!
Notes
❖ Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the microwave. If you overcook it, the cake can become dry. Start checking at the 1-minute mark and add more time in 10-second increments if needed.
❖ Add Toppings Last: To prevent your toppings (like whipped cream or ice cream) from melting too quickly, wait a few minutes after microwaving before adding them.
