Here’s a super-easy 5-minute cake that’s soft, moist, and literally melts in your mouth. 🍰✨ It’s often called a “mug cake” because you can make it in a mug or small bowl and cook it in the microwave.
Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 4 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder (optional for chocolate version)
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 3 tbsp Milk
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, and salt.
2. Add Wet Ingredients
- Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Make sure there are no lumps.
3. Microwave
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave power.
- The cake should rise and be set but still moist.
4. Cool Slightly & Enjoy
- Let the cake cool 1–2 minutes before eating.
- Optional: top with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of caramel.
Tips
- For a fudgy texture, reduce milk by 1 tsp.
- For larger servings, double the recipe and use a bigger microwave-safe bowl.
- Avoid overcooking—the cake will dry out quickly in the microwave.
✅ Result: A soft, sweet, and ultra-moist cake ready in literally 5 minutes—perfect for a quick treat or last-minute dessert.
I can also give a version that includes fruit chunks or chocolate chunks to make it even richer and more indulgent. Do you want me to share that one too?
