Directions

5 min
  1. 1

    Add the ★ seasonings (3 tbsp cake flour, 3 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder) to a mug. If using cocoa or other powder toppings, mix them together now.

  2. 2

    Mix well until there are no lumps of sugar or flour.

  3. 3

    Add 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 egg, and mix gently and thoroughly to avoid lumps.

  4. 4

    Add toppings (chocolate chips, jam, etc.) and adjust so the batter fills about 1/3 of the mug. Tap the bottom of the mug gently to remove air bubbles before heating.

  5. 5

    Microwave at 500W for 2 minutes. For other power levels: 600W for 2 minutes, 800W for 1 minute 20-40 seconds, 900W for 1 minute 20 seconds, or 1300W for 1 minute 5 seconds. Adjust as needed.

  6. 6

    When the surface becomes glossy, it's done. Be careful not to overheat, as it will become tough.

  7. 7

    Eat immediately after cooking to enjoy the fluffy texture.

Tips

Adjust the portions according to your mug size for consistent results. It's recommended to use a small amount of toppings.
