Mug Cake Recipe

Making a mug cake is not only delicious, it's also incredibly quick. This easy vanilla mug cake recipe can be made in minutes in the microwave!
Prep Time2 minutes
Cook Time3 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Servings: 1 portion

Ingredients 

  • 6 tbsp self-rising flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp oil

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in your mug and stir well. If you find it difficult to stir the base well, you can mix everything together in a separate bowl. Then simply pour the batter into your mug.
  • Place the mug in the microwave at full power for 140 seconds (2 minutes and 20 seconds). In my case, that's 800 watts. The time may vary from one microwave to another.
  • Pierce your cake with a skewer to see if it is done; if the skewer comes out dry and clean, it is done.
  • You can top your cup cake with a dollop of whipped cream, but it tastes delicious plain!
How to store
The Mug Cake is best when it comes out of the microwave and is still warm. As it cools, it dries out and is not nearly as tasty.
