aldersprigIt's too hot to bake! But I have a microwave!!
I squished together 2 recipes:
http://www.tablefortwoblog.com/the-moistest-very-vanilla-mug-cake/ and
https://www.buzzfeed.com/emofly/tips-recipes-microwave-mug-cakes
This is what I got:
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. (6T) all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. milk
1 egg
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. butter, melted
Mix dry ingredients together*, mix wet ingredients separately, combine.
Split evenly into 2 ramekins.
Microwave approx. 1.5 minutes.
*If I do this again, I will do like Alton Brown and call the sugar a wet ingredient, mixing hot butter-sugar-egg-milk in that order (avoids clumping, risking cooking the egg, sad solid bits of butter).
Taste and texture to come later.
Edited to add: it was overcooked and tough. Not sure if it was JUST the overcookieness or if it was too something as well. Tasty, though. Shall try again and report back.
