Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Rainbow sprinkles
- optional Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz in size), combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well with a fork to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Microwave the mug on high for 60-70 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check for doneness; the top should be set and slightly springy to the touch. Avoid overcooking, as the cake can become dry.
Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. Top with whipped cream and additional sprinkles if desired for extra flair!
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
