Equipment
- ceramic mug
Ingredients
- ¼ cup +1 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- dash salt
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mug, and mix.
- Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth. Don't forget to scrape the bottom!
- Sprinkle in some sprinkles for extra fun.
- Microwave for 70-90 seconds until the cake is just set and slightly shiny on top. Let it sit in the microwave for 1 minute before enjoying.
Notes
- Every microwave is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all cook time. Start with 70 seconds, then give it a breather for a minute to cool down a bit. Check if it's set – if not, add another 15-25 seconds. Oh, and don't forget to let it chill for another minute in the microwave before digging in.
- Here's the secret to mug cakes: stop cooking them before you think they're done. Yeah, you heard me right! You want that soft, gooey goodness in the middle, and the cake keeps on cooking even after it's out of the microwave. So, trust the process and pull it out a tad early. Your taste buds will thank you later!
