Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh berries
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until smooth, making sure no lumps remain. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug or small bowl. Make sure not to overfill it as the cake will rise as it bakes.
- Microwave the batter on high for 1 to 2 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave, so check after 1 minute. The cake is done when it has risen and is set in the middle.
- Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes. Once it’s cooled slightly, gently run a spoon or knife around the edges to loosen it from the container. You can either serve it straight from the mug or carefully turn it out onto a plate.
- Optional: Dust the cake with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate sauce, top with whipped cream, or add some fresh berries for an extra touch of flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy the cake that melts in your mouth with every bite!
