Vanilla Mug Cake
Description
The recipe involves melting butter directly in a large mug and then whisking in milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt are added next, followed by chocolate sprinkles stirred into the batter. The mug is microwaved briefly until the top looks set but still slightly moist, preserving tenderness and moisture in the cake.
This mug cake offers a convenient individual dessert or snack that can be prepared quickly without heating up an oven. It can be eaten warm and is best allowed to cool a few minutes for easier handling.
The cake batter can be prepared in advance and stored at room temperature covered for up to two days, allowing for ready-made desserts when desired.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Place butter in a large mug and microwave 30 to 40 seconds until melted. Allow to cool 2 to 3 minutes.
- Quickly whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar, mixing well (if the butter begins to solidify, microwave it for 30-45 seconds to warm the milk). Whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Stir in the sprinkles.
- Microwave for 80 to 90 seconds. The top should look set but slightly wet when done. Cool a few minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- The mug cake batter can be made ahead, covered with plastic wrap, and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days before microwaving.
