easy microwave cake (Page 2 ) | August 15, 2025

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl or large mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, and salt.
   • Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
2. Optional Add-Ins:
   • Mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles for extra texture and flavor.
3. Microwave:
   • Microwave the cake batter on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s wattage.
   • Start checking at 1:30 to ensure the cake doesn’t overcook. The cake is ready when the top is set and springs back when gently touched.
4. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the cake cool for a couple of minutes before digging in.
   • Optionally, top with whipped cream, frosting, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Tips and Variations

• Vanilla Cake: Skip the cocoa powder and add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
• Lemon Cake: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a few drops of lemon extract.
• Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter before microwaving.
• Serving Size: For larger portions, double the recipe and split it into two bowls or mugs.
