Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 0.5 teaspoons powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
Add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage, or until the cake has risen and set. Test with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let the cake cool for at least 2-3 minutes.
Top the mug cake with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Strawberries and Cream Mug Cake!
