Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
    Mixing cake batter in a glass measuring cup with a whisk.
  • Spray 2 mugs with non-stick cooking spray and pour batter into each.  The batter should only fill the mug ⅓ to a half of the way as it will rise A LOT!  We recommend a wide, large mug. 
    Pouring cake batter form a glass measuring cup into a mug.
  • Microwave for 60-90 seconds, watching closely so it does not overflow.  It will rise a lot and then sink as it cools.  Cooking time will vary based on microwave strength.  The cake should be cooked around the outside and look gooey in the middle.
