Cake in 5 minutes
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large microwave-safe mug, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if making chocolate cake), baking powder, and salt.
Add the Wet Ingredients:
Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug.
Stir well with a fork or small whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Microwave the Cake:
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power.
The cake is done when it has risen and is firm to the touch but still slightly moist in the center.
Serve:
Let the cake cool for a minute.
Enjoy it directly from the mug, or turn it out onto a plate.
You can add toppings like ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Enjoy your quick and delicious 5-minute cake!
