Recipe for a microwave cake

that you can make in just 5 minutes: Ingredients:

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional:

chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles for topping Instructions: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. If desired, mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles for added flavor and texture. Microwave the mug cake on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle.

Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let the cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying it straight from the mug or transferring it to a plate. You can also add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top if you like.

Enjoy your quick and easy microwave cake in just 5 minutes!
