Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar (can adjust to taste)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
Optional: Fresh fruits, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for decoration
Directions:
Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Microwave: Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug or bowl (make sure it's large enough to allow the cake to rise). Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power. The cake should rise and firm up.
Check and Cool: Once done, check with a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready! Let it cool slightly before serving.
Optional Toppings: If you’d like to elevate your cake, add some fresh fruits, a handful of chocolate chips, or dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve your 5-minute cake directly in the mug or plate it for a more elegant presentation. Pair with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for added flavor.
Storage: Since this cake is so quick to prepare, it’s best served fresh. However, if you have leftovers, you can store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To enjoy it later, simply reheat in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
