☕ 5-Minute Melt-in-Your-Mouth Vanilla Mug Cake

✅ Ingredients (1 serving):

• 4 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 2 tbsp sugar

• ¼ tsp baking powder

• Pinch of salt

• 3 tbsp milk

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: a few white chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a spoonful of whipped cream on top

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a microwave-safe mug (10–12 oz), stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Add Wet Ingredients:

   • Add milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and combined.

   • Add any optional mix-ins if you’d like.

3. Microwave:

   • Microwave on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 20 seconds — until the cake is puffed and just cooked through.

   • Don’t overcook or it can dry out!

4. Cool Slightly & Serve:

   • Let sit for 1 minute (it’ll be hot!), then top with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or a scoop of ice cream.

📝 Notes & Variations:

• For extra richness, add 1 tbsp of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.

• Want chocolate instead? Replace 1 tbsp flour with unsweetened cocoa powder.

• Add a small square of chocolate or Nutella in the center before cooking for a molten surprise!
