Vanilla Funfetti Mug Cake
Description
This Vanilla Funfetti Mug Cake starts with dry ingredients whisked directly in a standard mug, combined with plant-based or dairy milk, vanilla, and melted oil. The batter is mixed until just combined to keep the cake tender. Sprinkles add a festive appearance and a slight texture contrast.
Microwaving for about 90 seconds at medium power cooks the cake through, yielding a lightly soft crumb that can be slightly undercooked for a pudding-like texture if desired. Using an 8-ounce mug prevents overflow while cooking. The absence of eggs creates a soft, delicate crumb that contrasts with the crunchy sprinkles.
Served warm, it can be enjoyed as is or topped with frozen yogurt or ice cream for added richness. Multiplying the recipe allows making multiple mug cakes at once by mixing in a bowl and dividing batter into mugs.
Milk selection can be varied among dairy, almond, or coconut milk from cartons (not canned) without changing the cake’s texture significantly. Microwave power may require minor timing adjustments.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Pinch salt very light pinch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup almond milk or coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil melted (or canola or vegetable oil, extra-virgin or refined
- 2 teaspoons Sprinkles
Instructions
- In an 8-ounce (that's a fairly standard size) mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Make a small well and add the milk, vanilla and oil. Mix just until combined. Stir in the sprinkles.
- Microwave for 90 seconds at 70-80% power (adjusting as needed depending on the heat/power of your microwave). Serve warm with a dollop of frozen yogurt or ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use refrigerated almond or coconut milk cartons instead of canned for best texture; dairy milk can be substituted.
- Microwave times vary; start with 90 seconds at 80% power and adjust as needed to avoid overcooking.
- For more servings, mix larger batter and divide among mugs equally.
- Standard 8-ounce mugs prevent overflow; ramekins may overflow slightly.
