Servings 1
Equipment
- 1 microwave-safe mug (with a capacity of at least 7-8 oz / 200-300g)
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon light vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2½ tablespoons freshly grated carrots
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Put everything into a mug and stir with a fork.
- Microwave it until the carrot cake is set. My microwave oven is 1000 watts and it took 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Let it cool for about a minute (it's very hot).
- Serve with your favorite toppings, if desired.
- Enjoy!
Notes
If your microwave is more or less than 1000 watts, you may need to adjust the cooking time, accordingly.

Baking Measurements
I have used weight measurements for all the recipes on this website. Even though I have also included American volume measurements for convenience, I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh all ingredients for the most accurate measurements. Digital kitchen scales are more precise than cups, which is so important in baking, and they give the most accurate, consistent results. Happy baking!
