Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
-
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
-
If desired, add your favorite toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
-
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage. The cake should rise and set in the center. Be cautious not to overcook it, as it can become dry.
-
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it cool for a minute or two.
-
Enjoy your Microwave Mug Cake right from the mug, or you can transfer it to a plate for a neater presentation. Add extra toppings, like a scoop of ice cream, for an indulgent treat.
Note
- Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage. Start with 1 minute and check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- You can customize this cake by adding flavor extracts like almond or peppermint for different tastes.
- Experiment with various toppings, such as caramel sauce, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
