Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1.5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a small microwave-safe mug or ramekin, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Tap the mug or ramekin lightly on the countertop to settle the batter evenly.
Microwave the cake on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool for a minute or two before serving.
If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a touch of sweetness and garnish.
Enjoy your Solo Poppy Seed Cake straight from the mug or transfer it onto a small plate for a fancier touch!
