Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Vanilla Mug Cake
  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to remove flour clumps.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons of milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, monitoring closely. The cake should rise and be set in the center when done.
  4. Carefully remove from the microwave and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or berries.

Notes

For the best texture, enjoy immediately after cooling slightly. Overmixing should be avoided for fluffiness. If there’s leftover batter, store it in the fridge and remix before microwaving again.
