Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1/4 tbsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1 tbsp buttermilk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 11 egg (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Add moisture to cake batterInstead of simply mixing the wet ingredients, gently heat the milk and honey together in a small saucepan until the honey dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling. This will infuse the batter with a deeper honey flavor and create a more comforting aroma
- Step 2: Combine Dry IngredientsIn your mug, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Make sure there are no lumps!
- Step 3: Mix in the Warm Honey MixtureAdd the warm honey-milk mixture, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
- Step 4: Add toppings of your choice to the Honey Mug cakeIf you want to add flavor to the cake: chocolate, almond, banana, etc., add it to the cake before putting it in the microwave.
- Step 5: Put your mixture in the microwaveCarefully place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Keep a close eye on it, as cooking times can vary. Let your mug cake cool for a minute or two, then top with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
