Servings 1
Equipment
- microwave safe mug with a capacity of at least 7-8 oz. (200-230g)
- microwave oven
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 3 tablespoons milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 tablespoon light vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- a pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)
- a pinch of ground clove (optional)
- a pinch of salt
- powdered sugar to dust the cake (optional)
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a mug (except the powdered sugar) and stir. I like using a fork so that there aren't any lumps.
- Microwave it for 1 minute and 30 seconds, however the time will vary depending on your microwave.
- Dust with some powdered sugar or add your favorite toppings.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- All microwave ovens are different and cooking times may vary. My microwave oven is 1000 watts and it took 1.5 minutes. If your microwave is more than 1000 watts, you may need to reduce the cooking time by 20-30 seconds. If it's less than 1000 watts, you may need to increase the cooking time. The cake is ready when it stops rising and the surface is firm to the touch.
