VANILLA MUG CAKE
Vanilla mug cake is a soft, spongy and delicious 1 minute recipe, perfect for a single serving. It is usually made in a microwave and, the whole process takes less than 5 minutes.
Vanilla mug cake can be made with really simple ingredients, that are readily available at home. It is made with flour, sugar, butter, milk, baking powder and vanilla essence. Since, it is made in microwave for just 1 minute, eggs are not added to it.
ABOUT THE RECIPE:
I make this recipe quite often, especially for my early evening or, midnight cravings. It is single serving. I usually use, just a coffee mug and a whisk/fork to prep and bake. It can also be prepared in a separate mixing bowl and, poured to the mug.
*MAKE SURE TO USE A MICROWAVE SAFE MUG. ALSO, THIS RECIPE CAN BE MADE IN A 200ML COFFEE MUG. I’VE USED 300ML COFFEE MUG.

NOTE:
The cooking time might vary depending on the microwave. It took exactly 1 minute to cook, in my microwave. The cake forms a crack, and separates from the mug. This is the perfect consistency. If not, place the mug in the microwave for another 10-20 seconds. Do not place it for more than 30 seconds.
