Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and a microwave-safe mug. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best mixing.
- In the mug, sift together flour and baking powder to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Add sugar to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork until well combined.
- Pour in almond milk and lemon juice, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and no dry ingredients remain at the bottom of the mug.
- Gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Microwave the mug cake on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on microwave wattage.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to allow the texture to set and prevent burning.
- Optional: Garnish with additional fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a small dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Room Temperature Magic: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and more even cooking.
- Sifting is Saving: Always sift your dry ingredients to prevent lumpy batter and ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
- Microwave Mastery: Cooking times can vary by microwave, so start with 60 seconds and add 10-15 seconds if needed. Overcooking leads to a dry cake!
- Blueberry Placement: Gently fold blueberries to prevent crushing, distributing them evenly for bursts of fruity flavor in every bite.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the mug cake rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking - this helps the texture set and prevents potential tongue burns.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to experiment with toppings like whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of honey to make this dessert uniquely yours!
