Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Apple (peeled and finely chopped)
- Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for topping
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the mug.
Gently fold in the chopped apple, distributing it evenly throughout the batter.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's power. The cake is done when it has risen and is set in the center.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Optional: Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish.
Enjoy your warm and delicious Apple Cinnamon Mug Cake!
