Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • A Pinch of Nutmeg
  • A Pinch of Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil (or melted butter)
  • ¼ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Fruit

  • ¼ cup finely diced Apple (preferably crisp and flavorful)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir together to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Incorporate the diced apple: Fold the finely diced apple pieces gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Microwave the cake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 90 seconds to 2 minutes. The cake should rise and be firm to the touch but moist inside. Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage.
  5. Cool and serve: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before eating, as it will be very hot. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a spoonful of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your apple and personal preference.
  • Use any type of milk you prefer, including plant-based alternatives.
  • Substituting melted butter for vegetable oil will add a richer flavor but may alter the moistness slightly.
  • Microwave wattages vary; start checking at 90 seconds to avoid overcooking.
  • The finely diced apple provides moisture and flavor; avoid larger chunks which may not cook through evenly.
