Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a standard-sized microwave-safe mug, add flour, sugar, and milk. Stir thoroughly with a fork or spoon until the mixture is smooth and all lumps are dissolved.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and heat on high for 60-90 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check the consistency; if the cake still looks a bit wet, add another 15-30 seconds. The cake should look set on top but be soft and fluffy inside.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cake cool for a minute before diving in, as it will be very hot initially. Top with your favorite toppings if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- Microwave Power: Microwave strengths vary, so keep an eye on your cake while it cooks to avoid overcooking.
- Flour Substitutes: You can use almond flour or gluten-free flour if desired. Adjust the milk slightly as some flours absorb more moisture.
- Topping Suggestions: Feel free to get creative with chocolate chips, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Dietary Options: For a vegan version, simply use non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk.
