Yellow Mug Cake
This quick and easy yellow mug cake is a simple single-serving microwavable dessert with a classic vanilla flavor and buttercream frosting.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Add the butter to the mug and microwave for 20 to 40 seconds or until melted.
- Step 2
Add the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing the wet ingredients thoroughly with a fork to combine.
- Step 3
Stir in the flour a little bit at a time, then mix in the remaining dry ingredients: sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Step 4
Microwave for about 70 seconds (1 minute, 10 seconds).* This will take more or less time depending on your microwave's wattage (anywhere from 60 to 90 seconds). If the cake is not fully cooked, microwave in 10-second increments. It is normal for the cake to rise above the rim of the mug as it cooks and then sink slightly. Do not open the microwave too soon or the cake will sink significantly.
- Step 5
Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before topping it with frosting, powdered sugar, or whipped topping (optional).
