Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug until evenly mixed.
  2. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir just until the batter is smooth and no dry flour remains.
  3. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, checking at 1 minute, until the cake is puffed and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it rest a minute, then dust with powdered sugar or add toppings and eat right away.

Notes

Microwave performance varies, so start watching at the 1-minute mark to prevent overcooking. The cake will settle a little as it cools, so serve it right in the mug while it is still warm and pillowy.
