Vanilla Mug Cake Variations:
This is one of the first recipe I learned from my mother. I loved eating cake as kid & this recipe always came to rescue. I still make it whenever I crave for cake and not in a mood to bake a whole cake. Apart from vanilla extract to flavour this mug cake, you can also add:
- Fresh or dried berries like cranberries, strawberries or blueberries.
- Chopped Nuts like almonds, walnuts, pistachios or golden raisins.
- Any fruit jam of your choice to make the cake gooey & more moist. Remember to adjust the sugar as jam already has sugar.
- Warm spices like ginger powder, cinnamon powder or a pinch of nutmeg.
- Some whipped cream and edible confetti or sprinkles on top.
- Chocolate Chips, chopped chocolate or drizzle some chocolate sauce/ syrup on top.
Tips to make perfect mug cake in microwave:
All you need is do is gather & mix few ingredients to get a fresh, soft and yummy mug cake in less than 2 minutes. Sharing few points before you try this microwave mug cake recipe:
1. Use only microwave safe mug to prepare cake in microwave. Do not use metalware.
2. The cake is meant to be served hot. Do not keep it for too long once it is out of oven. Enjoy it while it is still warm.
3. The microwave cooking time varies from model to model. This mug cake gets ready in my oven in 1 minute 30 seconds. It might take upto 2 minutes sometimes. Check the centre of the mug cake with the knife or skewer. If you get wet batter on the tip then microwave for 5-10 seconds more.

Step 2:
Add wet ingredients i.e. milk, oil, vanilla essence and vinegar to the mug.
