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
- 0 optional Whipped cream (optional)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 3
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. Top with whipped cream and additional sprinkles if desired for extra flair!
Step 6
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
