Easy Vanilla Mug Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This easy vanilla mug cake recipe requires just four common ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and milk. You will also need a few basic pantry items such as butter, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. To top it off, you will need some optional sprinkles to decorate the top of the mug cake.
For the all-purpose flour, you can use either self-rising or regular all-purpose flour. Regular all-purpose flour will require the addition of baking powder. Self-rising flour already has baking powder added, so you can skip that step. If you are using self-rising flour, you will want to reduce the amount of baking powder called for in the recipe.
You can use either melted butter or vegetable oil. I prefer to use melted butter because it gives the mug cake a richer flavor. If you are using vegetable oil, make sure to warm it first so that it is liquid before adding it to the mug cake.
As for the milk, you can use any type of milk. For a richer flavor, I recommend using whole milk, but any type of milk will work.
Instructions
Begin by adding the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large mug or bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined. Add in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Use a fork or whisk to mix the ingredients until they are completely combined and a batter forms.
Transfer the batter to a mug or ramekin. If desired, top the mug cake with sprinkles. Place the mug in the microwave and cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds. The mug cake should be firm and slightly golden brown on top.
Once the mug cake is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, top the mug cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
