Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 1 mins
Total Time: 11 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 cup strawberry puree
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by measuring them precisely. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best mixing results.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of any lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the mug cakes tough.
- Grease two microwave-safe mugs thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared mugs, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- Microwave each mug separately on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the mug cakes cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to allow the texture to set.
- Optional: Garnish with additional fresh strawberry puree, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't Overmix: Stir the batter just until ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, rubbery cakes.
- Microwave Precision: Cooking times can vary based on your microwave's wattage. Start with 60 seconds and add 10-15 seconds if needed.
- Grease is Your Friend: Thoroughly coat the mugs to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Let Them Rest: Allow the mug cakes to cool for 1-2 minutes to achieve the perfect, moist texture.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Experiment with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar to elevate your dessert.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: High-quality strawberry puree makes a significant difference in flavor and overall taste.
