Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg yolk
Mixing the Dry Ingredients
In a large mug, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk together until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the baking powder.
Adding the Wet Ingredients
Add the milk, oil, vanilla extract and egg yolk to the mug. Stir well until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Microwave Cooking
Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so start with 1 minute and add more time in 15-second intervals if needed. The cake should be slightly springy to the touch.
Cooling and Serving
Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before serving. You can top it with whipped cream, fresh berries, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra special treat. Enjoy warm!
