A warm, spiced apple cake ready in minutes, cooked in a mug and microwave, perfect for a quick dessert for two.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons (25g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons diced apple
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, ice cream, or powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel, and dice the apple into small chunks. Set aside.
  2. In your mug, combine 3 tablespoons (25g) of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons (25g) of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
  3. Pour in 3 tablespoons (45ml) of milk, 1 tablespoon (15g) of melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Gently stir in 2 tablespoons of diced apple, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s wattage. The cake is done when it has risen and is firm to the touch.
  6. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake—if it comes out clean, it’s ready. If not, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.
  7. Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before topping with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Notes

[‘Use a mug that’s at least 12 oz to avoid overflow.’, ‘Cooking time can vary based on your microwave’s wattage. Start with 90 seconds and adjust as needed.’, ‘Ensure the batter is smooth and free of lumps before microwaving for an even texture.’, ‘Avoid pre-packaged apple slices, as they can be too dry and lack flavor.’, ‘Don’t skip the cinnamon—it’s essential for the flavor.’]
