Servings: 1 servings
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon turkey bacon bits optional
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese frosting for topping
Instructions
- Start by adding 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1/8 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon into your microwave-safe mug or a small bowl. Stir these ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Next, pour in 3 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir everything until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- If you want to add a touch of savory contrast, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of turkey bacon bits and gently fold them into the batter. This step is optional.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Start with 90 seconds and add extra time if needed. The cake should rise and look set but still moist.
- Once cooked, let the mug cake cool for a minute or two, then top with 1 tablespoon of cream cheese frosting. The frosting melts slightly into the warm cake.
Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz capacity)
- Measuring spoons and tablespoons
- Small mixing bowl or mug
- Spoon or small whisk
Notes
- Reduce microwave time slightly or add a teaspoon more milk if the cake is too dry.
- Ensure baking powder is fresh and measured accurately for proper rising.
- Use a larger mug and fill no more than two-thirds full to prevent overflow.
- Refrigerate leftovers covered and reheat briefly in the microwave before adding fresh frosting.
