Equipment

Large Mug 12oz or 350ml
Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

5 tablespoons (38 g) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons (38 g) organic granulated sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 ½ tablespoons (38 ml) vegetable oil
4 tablespoons (60 ml) almond milk or other non-dairy milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a measuring jug or small bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
5 tablespoons (38 g) all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons (38 g) organic granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 pinch salt
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
2 ½ tablespoons (38 ml) vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons (60 ml) almond milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir with a fork or small whisk until the batter is smooth. Be sure to incorporate all the dry ingredients by scraping around the edges.
Pour the batter into a large mug and microwave for 90 seconds - 2 minutes until the batter is fully cooked.
Let cool for 2-3 minutes before eating.

Notes

Cooking time will vary depending on the power of your microwave.

Start with the shorter time listed in the recipe, and if it looks still moist through the window of the microwave, add on the extra time. If the edges are still looking a little moist, you can add up to 30 seconds more. You can also test it with a toothpick to make sure the batter is cooked.

Serving size

This makes one large mug cake and it can easily be shared between two people! You can also split the batter into two ramekins or smaller mugs for two smaller servings and reduce the cooking time to around 45-60 seconds.
