How to Make Yellow Cake In A Mug

  2. In the mug, whisk together 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add 1 large egg, 3 tablespoons milk, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  4. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Microwave on high for 1-3 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance. Start with 1 minute, then check for doneness.
