Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Before diving into the mixing, ensure you have all your ingredients measured and ready to go. Grab a microwave-safe mug (a standard size works best) and gather your dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix these ingredients together directly in the mug to save on washing up later.
- Now add the wet ingredients: milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee into the mug with your dry mix. Stir the mixture gently until well combined and no dry flour remains visible. Make sure not to over-mix, as that could result in a denser cake. If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in at this stage.
- Place your mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage, so keep an eye on it as it cooks. The cake is ready when it has risen and the top is set.
- Let it cool slightly before enjoying directly from the mug, or transfer it onto a plate for a more elegant presentation. Consider garnishing with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for that café-style vibe.
