Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • A pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Mix Your Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk thoroughly with a fork to evenly distribute the leavening agents and sugar throughout the flour.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and crack the egg directly into the mug. Mix everything until the batter is smooth, thick but pourable, with no dry spots remaining.
  3. Microwave to Fluffy Perfection: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s wattage. Watch closely to avoid overflow and do not overcook to prevent dryness. The cake should rise and spring back when lightly touched.
  4. Let It Cool Slightly and Enjoy: Allow the pancake mug cake to cool for about a minute before eating. This resting period helps the texture settle for a tender and warm bite.

Notes

  • Use fresh baking powder to ensure maximum rise and fluffiness.
  • Do not overfill the mug; leave about an inch from the top to avoid spillage during microwaving.
  • Mix batter thoroughly to eliminate lumps and ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time according to your microwave’s wattage; start with 90 seconds and add time in short increments if needed.
  • Experiment with flavors by adding fruits, spices, or chocolate chips to personalize your mug cake.
