Honey mug cake is quick, easy, and adaptable to your preferences. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting, I encourage you to give this recipe a try. Making the cake is a perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth without spending hours in the kitchen.
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.
