Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug (10–12 oz)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Small spoon or fork for mixing
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- Dash of salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sprinkles
Instructions
- Start by grabbing a microwave-safe mug. Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a small pinch of salt directly into the mug. Use a fork or small whisk to stir everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly blended and there are no clumps.
- Next, pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well, scraping along the bottom and sides of the mug to make sure all the flour is fully mixed in.
- Keep stirring until the batter looks smooth and there are no dry spots left. Add the sprinkles and gently fold them into the batter. Mix just enough to spread them through evenly.
- The batter should be smooth and slightly thick, but not overworked. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Start with 1 minute, then check the cake.
- The top should look set and feel slightly springy when you touch it lightly. If needed, microwave for a few more seconds. Let the cake cool for about a minute before eating.
Notes
Note: Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage. Do not overcook, as the cake can become dry. For extra flavor, add a few chocolate chips or a small spoon of frosting on top after cooking.
