Vanilla Mug Cake

Flavorful
Description

You can either eat the mug cake directly in the mug (especially if your goal is to use the fewest dishes possible!) or scoop it out with a large spoon and serve it on a plate. Plating the cake makes it especially easy to add ice cream, which is always worth the effort.

Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sprinkles
  • pink vanilla frosting, warmed, optional
Directions
  1. Spray a 16-ounce (2-cup) microwave-safe coffee mug with cooking spray. Combine milk and butter in mug; whisk in egg yolk and vanilla extract. Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir to combine. Add sprinkles; stir to combine.
  2. Microwave on high until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 2-1/2 minutes; mug will be hot. Serve immediately. If desired, drizzle with warmed vanilla frosting and top with additional sprinkles.
