Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Making a Strawberry Shortcake Mug Cake is easy, and the process only involves a few steps:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
  3. Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave. Start with 1 minute, then check for doneness. The cake should be set in the middle and spring back when touched.
  5. Cool Slightly: Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two after microwaving.
  6. Top with Whipped Cream: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of your mug cake before serving.
