Ingredients:

  • 6 tbsp cake mix
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil

Instructions:

  1. In a 12 oz to 14 oz ceramic mug, combine the cake mix, water, and oil.
  2. Use a small whisk or fork to stir until the batter is completely smooth, ensuring you scrape the bottom edges where dry mix may hide.
  3. Place the mug in the center of the microwave and cook on high power for 60 seconds.
  4. If the top still looks wet or liquid, pulse in 10-second intervals until set but slightly glistening.
  5. Let the cake rest inside the microwave or on the counter for 120 seconds to allow the internal steam to set the crumb structure.
