Vanilla Mug Cake
This easy Vanilla Mug Cake is the perfect way to satisfy a sweet tooth. A single serve cake that's made in the microwave with 5 ingredients (and no egg)...ready in about 2 minutes!
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoon boxed cake mix
- 4 tablespoon whole milk
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sprinkles optional
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin, add the oil and milk.
- Add the dry cake mix and stir with a fork just until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- If desired, gently fold in any add-ins (such as sprinkles or chocolate chips).
- Microwave on high for 60–75 seconds, depending on your microwave, until the center looks set.
- Let cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 10–12 ounces so the cake has room to rise without overflowing.
- Measure the cake mix dry only. Do not prepare it according to the box directions.
- Microwave times vary by model. Start at 60 seconds, then add 10–15 seconds if the center still looks wet.
- Stir just until combined. Overmixing can make mug cakes dense or rubbery.
- This cake is best eaten immediately. Letting it sit too long can cause a chewy texture.
