Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug (preferably 8 oz size)
- Spoon or small whisk
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or substitute with brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk dairy or plant-based
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips sprinkles, or nuts for added flavor and texture
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and white vinegar. Stir until everything is fully combined and smooth.
- Optional Add-ins: If you're adding chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts, stir them into the batter.

- Enjoy your quick, egg-free vanilla mug cake!
Notes
❖ Microwave Wattage: The cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. My microwave takes about 1 minute 20 seconds, but if yours is more powerful, you might want to start with 1 minute and check from there.
❖ Avoid Overmixing: Be gentle when mixing your batter. Overmixing can lead to a denser, less fluffy cake.
❖ Double the Recipe: If you want to make two servings, simply double the ingredients and divide the batter into two mugs. Adjust the cooking time slightly if needed.
