Made in the microwave, this cake is ready in under 2 minutes. Let’s dive into how to make this delightful treat!
Ingredients:
- Flour – If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use a combination of all-purpose flour and baking powder. Flour is essential for the structure of the cake.
- Granulated Sugar – For that sweet touch. Sugar adds flavor and contributes to the cake’s texture.
- Milk – Acts as a liquid to bring everything together.
- Melted Butter or Oil – Gives the cake its moist texture.
- Vanilla Extract – For a burst of vanilla flavor.
- Baking Powder – Helps the cake rise.
- Sprinkles or Funfetti – Optional, but they add a fun and colorful touch!
- Seltzer (some recipes suggest this as an alternative to milk)
- Mug (ad) – To cook and serve your cake!
Instructions:
- Start by adding the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt (if using all-purpose flour) to your mug. Stir these dry ingredients well.
- Next, pour in the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Stir everything until you achieve a smooth consistency. Remember to scrape the bottom of the mug to ensure all ingredients are well-combined.
- If you’re feeling festive, stir in some sprinkles or funfetti!
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power. The exact time might vary based on your microwave’s wattage and the specific recipe you’re following. However, it’s usually between 45 seconds to 2 minutes. The cake should look set on top but still slightly shiny. If unsure, start with the lower end of the recommended time and add 10-second bursts as needed.
- Once cooked, let your cake rest inside the microwave for about a minute before taking it out. This allows it to continue cooking slightly and makes it easier to handle.
- Top your cake with whipped cream, ice cream, or any topping of your choice. Dive in and enjoy!
Now, next time the dessert craving hits, you’re well-prepared to whip up a delicious Vanilla Mug Cake. Enjoy your quick and easy microwave dessert!
