Strawberry Mug Cake
I will guide you on how to whip up a delicious strawberry mug cake in just 5 minutes with simple and satisfying recipe that is perfect for when you need a quick dessert.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1/4 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tbsp Milk (any kind)
- 1 tbsp Melted butter or oil
- 1/4 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Fresh strawberries, diced
Instructions
- Step 1: Infuse the MilkInstead of plain milk, warm it gently with a few slices of fresh ginger. Warm milk with ginger will add a subtle warmth and complexity to the cake that complements the strawberries beautifully. Let the milk cool slightly before using it in the batter.
- Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients In your mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Make sure there are no lumps!
- Step 3: Mix in the Wet IngredientsAdd the infused milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
- Step 4: Fold in the StrawberriesGently fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Step 5: Put your strawberry cake in a mug in the microwavePop the strawberry mug cake 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 an eye on it, as cooking times can vary. Let it cool for a minute or two, then top with your favorite additions, like a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey. The warm cake, combined with the sweet strawberries and hint of ginger, will create a truly delightful experience for your taste buds!
