Lemon Mug Cake


At the Food Forest Kitchen' Restaurant we bake our delicious vegan cakes in the oven, but what if you want just 1 cake?? If you have a microwave you can make this delicious 'cup'cake in a matter of minutes!



 

LEMON CAKE IN A MUG

Prep : 2 min Cook: 1 min Ready in: 5 minutes Serves: 1


INGREDIENTS


DRY INGREDIENTS

5 tablespoons flour

4 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

a pinch of salt


WET INGREDIENTS

1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

2 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons of water


EQUIPMENT

  • Cup, suitable for microwave

  • Spoon

  • Measuring cups

PREPARATION

Squeeze a lemon for the juice.

Please make sure the mug is big enough. The cake mix should not be over half of the mug when placed in the microwave. If more it will rise over the edge of the mug.


METHOD

  • Mix the dry ingredients in the mug

  • Make 3 depressions in the mix (2 small depressions and 1 large depression)

  • Add oil in the large depression

  • Add vinegar in one of the small depressions

  • Add vanilla to the other small depression

  • Pour the lemon juice and water over it all

  • Mix it all together until smooth

  • Place the mug in the microwave

  • Set the microwave on high and wave for ca. 70 seconds

  • Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done (the toothpick is clean when it comes out)

NOTE:

Each microwave has a different way of baking, try out if the period of baking is longer of shorter for you.
