Yellow cake in a mug

Submitted by: DELILLE

Introduction

Until now I've only seen chocolate cake recipes, and so I figured I'd put one up for those who just don't like chocolate. Also, this recipe can be modified and you can add in anything that you want to.

Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    a2 tbsp flour
    1.5 tbsp sugar
    1/4 tsp baking powder
    1/8 tsp salt
    2 tbsp milk
    3/4 tbsp oil
    1/4 tsp vanilla extract

    Pam cooking spray

Directions

Mix all of the dry ingredients together.
Now add in the milk, oil and vanilla.
Spray a little bit of PAM into your coffee mug.
Pour the batter into mug.
Bake in microwave at high power for 1 minute.
If the cake is not completely cooked, bake for 15 second intervals until it is done.
Enjoy!!!! You can cut it in half or eat it alone =D

Ideas for different flavors:
Bake yellow cake and when its ready, cut in half. Sprinke some cinnamon sugar in the middle. If you are going to eat the whole thing, replace the top part and sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on it.
Add in .5 tsp coffee (instant or regular) and .5 tsp cocoa.
Add 1 tsp cocoa to batter.

Number of Servings: 2

    It wasn't bad. I will say though, I'm sure the flavored ones taste better, because this one tasted a bit doughy. I don't think I would have been able to eat this if I wouldn't have put chocolate chips on top and let them melt into a "frosting." I like that it didn't require eggs. - 5/3/13

    Great recipe! I made a few substitutions. I used 1T coconut flour and 1T AP flour. I used only 1T of sugar and used vanilla almond milk. Definitely satisfied my craving! I was afraid the portion size was too small, but it was perfect. I added some Speculoos cookie spread and chocolate soy icecream. - 2/25/13

    Yummy! I substituted Splenda brown sugar blend, skim milk & only put 1/2 tbs oil, added a little extra vanilla & it was great. Really small serving though since its a 2 serving recipe. - 2/21/13

    I've made it once before, didn't have oil, used butter, and I think it was a little too much. Just made it again with coconut flour and coconut oil(another guess on the measuring) and almond milk, and it was really good. Buttery. Will make this way again1 - 2/17/13

    Only filled up half the mug, which was actually perfect. I've tried chocolate mug recipes and they are always too sweet. This was perfect. - 1/22/13

    Tried this tonight, and it was very good. I added about a tsp of rainbow sprinkles just as an extra treat, and it turned out wonderfully. Helped with my cake craving without letting me go too overboard. - 11/7/12

    Really good, Pam was not needed,it didn't stick a bit. Very light,fluffy, and moist. As said by another user, it really only serves half a serving, it only filled half a mug. I will double the recipe and maybe lower the sugar to my liking next time. Lovely for a quick and easy snack, will make again - 9/28/12

    I added the tsp of cocoa powder and used half Splenda for the sugar, it took 1 1/2min... it was awesome! I've tried a couple others from box mixes and this is WAY better! - 8/31/12

    This little recipe is amazing! I did double it and used 2 TBS of butter instead of oil just because I prefer butter. I couldn't believe the texture and taste! I'm almost sorry I stumbled upon this recipe because it's going to be very difficult to not make this all the time as yellow cake is my fave! - 8/22/12

    I've made this recipe several times now and am changing my rating to 5 stars because of the versatility. I've changed it a little bit. I used 100% stone ground whole wheat flour and 3 packets of stevia in place of the sugar. I also added 2 tsp of cocoa powder. It works great! I love this recipe! - 7/24/12

    I cant believe that without any eggs this turned out so awesome! The only problem that i have with this recipe is that it says it makes 2 servings, but it makes about a half of a serving. I have to double it in order to make a full mug. GREAT RECIPE, WILL DEFINATLY MAKE AGAIN - 8/3/11

    this was SOOOO good! better than i expected. This one had the right texture too! moist, and almost cupcake like! instead of 1.5 tbsp sugar I used 1 tbsp sugar and .5 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener. I also put some cinnamon in the batter. It was a success! - 5/20/11

    Every mug cake recipe I've tried has been a huge disappointment - EXCEPT this! It's moist and has a lovely texture (most mug cake recipes I've seen include an egg; I wonder if the exclusion here makes the difference?) I need to try adding cocoa next time! :) - 3/24/12
