Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped apples (1 small-medium size apple)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Wash, peel, core an apple and chop into 1/4-inch cubes. Measure one cup.
- Remove mug from the microwave, stir in butter until fully melted, then mix in milk.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Microwave for 1 minute and 50 seconds for a wide mug or 2 minutes for a regular mug.
- Serve hot with ice cream!
Add chopped apple into a microwave-safe coffee mug (preferably a large mug). Microwave for 2 minutes. Pre-cooking the apple chunks softens them, reduces excess moisture, and intensifies their flavor.
Use room-temperature butter to maintain the texture of the cake.
Avoid opening the microwave for an additional 10 to 20 seconds after cooking to prevent shrinkage.
Notes
- You can top the mug cake with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor.
- Experiment with different fruits like pears or berries for variety.
