¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar (Swerve can substitute)
2 tablespoons coconut oil (applesauce can substitute)
6 tablespoons milk or water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Stir the dry ingredients together in a mug or small bowl until evenly mixed.
Add the coconut oil, milk or water, and vanilla and stir until fully blended.
Microwave on high for 1½ to 2 minutes, adding 15 to 30 second intervals if needed, until the cake is fluffy and springy.
Leave it in the microwave for 1 minute, then serve warm or cooled.
