Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze:

  • Powdered sugar (for glaze, about 2 tablespoons)
  • Milk or water (for glaze, about 1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined, ensuring an even texture.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth without lumps but avoid overmixing to keep the cake fluffy.
  3. Microwave the cake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked through. Adjust time depending on your microwave’s wattage.
  4. Prepare the glaze: While the cake cooks, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk or water to achieve a smooth, drizzle-able glaze consistency. Adjust the liquid to get desired sweetness and thickness.
  5. Apply the glaze: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two, then drizzle the prepared glaze over the top evenly.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Enjoy the warm, moist glazed donut mug cake immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh baking powder for the best rise and fluffy texture.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a soft and tender crumb.
  • Adjust microwave time based on your microwave’s wattage for optimal cooking.
  • Experiment with glaze thickness and sweetness by altering the powdered sugar to liquid ratio.
