What You'll Need
How to Make It
Mix the Dry Ingredients
Grab a microwave-safe mug and add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Give it a quick stir to combine everything
Add the Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk, oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until smooth. If you’re using lemon zest, toss that in too for an extra pop of flavor.
Microwave Magic
Pop the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Keep an eye on it—microwaves can vary, so you might need to adjust the time slightly. The cake is done when it’s risen and looks set on top.
Cool and Enjoy
Let the cake cool for a minute or two before diving in. You can eat it straight from the mug or tip it out onto a plate. Top it with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling fancy.
