Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Mug: Grease an oversized microwave-safe mug to ensure the cake doesn’t stick after cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, sugar, and baking powder directly into the mug and mix thoroughly until combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high power for 60 seconds. Check the cake’s fluffiness and, if needed, microwave for additional 10 to 15 second intervals to complete cooking.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool slightly in the mug before enjoying it directly or transferring it onto a plate.
Notes
- Use an oversized mug to prevent overflowing during microwaving.
- Fresh strawberries provide best flavor, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
- Microwave power varies, so adjust cooking time accordingly to avoid overcooking.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter.
- Feel free to add a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle of chocolate sauce as a topping.
