Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the ingredients for the Cake

  • Step 2: Mix the Butter and Sugar
    Pick a mug that is safe to use in the microwave first. To avoid burning, slowly melt the butter in the mug. After the butter has melted, add the sugar and whisk until thoroughly mixed.

  • Step 3: Incorporate the Milk and Other Ingredients
    Next, thoroughly mix in the two tablespoons of lemon juice and the milk in the mug. This is what your wet ingredients are built around. Continually, add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and a small amount of salt) after that. The lemon flavor is enhanced by the salt. Stir well and stir in the zest of the lemon.

  • Step 4: Microwave the Cake
    Once combined, microwave the mug for around 60 seconds. The cooking time may vary with your microwave's power. So, check the cake after 60 seconds. When the cake's center sets and bounces back when touched, it's done.

  • Step 5: Prepare the Glaze and Serve
    Finally, prepare a simple glaze by combining the confectioner's sugar with the remaining lemon juice. Adjust the consistency as needed, then drizzle it over the cake. You can enjoy the cake directly from the mug or transfer it to a plate. Optionally, serve with tea or coffee, or top with whipped cream or ice cream instead of the glaze.
