by

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for chocolate cake)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased microwave-safe dish or mug (about half full to allow rising).
  4. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes (time may vary by microwave) until the cake is set and springs back when touched.
  5. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes, then enjoy as is or top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or fresh fruit.

Would you like me to give you a chocolate version or a vanilla/plain version as well?
