A single-serving vanilla mug cake with sprinkles, mixed in one mug and microwaved in about a minute. Serve it warm with frosting, ice cream or cream.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons (1 ¼ oz/35 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons (2 fl oz/60 ml) milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil (sunflower or coconut oil)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon Funfetti sprinkles

Directions

  • In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
  • Stir in the milk, oil, and vanilla until just combined, then mix in the sprinkles.
  • Microwave for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, until the top feels firm (this was tested in a 1200-watt microwave).
  • Serve warm with frosting, ice cream, or cream.

Notes

Batter can be refrigerated up to 48 hours (eat right away is recommended). No microwave: bake in an oven-safe mug at 350°F (180°C) about 10 minutes. Prep 4 minutes, cook 1 minute. Safety: raw flour; cook until firm.
