Vanilla Mug Cake
Description
This Vanilla Mug Cake recipe starts by mixing dry ingredients — all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt — in a mug. Melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract are stirred in until smooth, ensuring the batter is well combined. Sprinkles add a pop of color and fun texture inside the cake.
The mug is microwaved for just over a minute, stopping when the cake is just set but still slightly shiny on top to maintain softness. Letting it rest in the microwave after cooking allows the cake to finish cooking gently and cool slightly, improving texture.
This recipe is well suited for when you want a small, quick dessert without fuss. Adjust cooking times carefully, as microwaves vary; start with shorter time and add more if needed to avoid overcooking. The cake has a light, vanilla flavor and a moist crumb, with sprinkles adding a colorful touch.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup +1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- salt Dash
- 2 tablespoon butter , melted
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Sprinkles
Instructions
- Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a mug and stir together.
- Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth, being sure to scrape the bottom of the mug. Stir in sprinkles.
- Cook in microwave for 70-90 seconds* (until cake is just set, but still barely shiny on top). Allow to rest in microwave for 1 minute before consuming.
Notes
- Adjust microwave cook time in 15-25 second increments as needed; the cake should be just set but soft inside.
- Let the mug cake rest in the microwave for one minute after cooking to allow gentle finishing and cooling.
- Stopping microwaving early helps maintain a soft center as the cake continues to cook while cooling.
