Description
A fluffy, spongey, easy mug cake that can be made in approximately 5 minutes, without the help of an egg. All you need are the ingredients, a mug, and a microwave. Top with whatever you’d like!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup flour* (all-purpose, whole wheat, 1:1 GF all-purpose, buckwheat, oat)
- 1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar (white or brown, depending on desired sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mug, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and (optional) cinnamon/nutmeg.
- Mix in the milk and vanilla. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cook in microwave for around 1 minute. This time depends on your microwave – if it doesn’t look fluffy and light after the 1 minute (still a bit liquid), I recommend cooking in 10 second intervals until the cake is cooked through.
- Let cool, and top with nuts, ice cream, coconut, berries, icing, cereal, caramel, whipped cream, homemade nut butter, or whatever you’d like!
Notes
*Results will vary depending on which type of flour you use. For the fluffiest/lightest mug cake, use all-purpose. If you would like to use almond flour, I recommend using less milk and oil.
