2 Minute Lemon Mug Cake

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter

  melted
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

  optional for more intense lemon flavor
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• dash salt
• splash vanilla extract
• yellow food coloring

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Melt the butter in a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug for a few seconds. Once melted,
  swirl it to coat the sides of the mug.
• 2 In the mug or small bowl, whisk the melted butter with milk, lemon juice, zest,
  and vanilla until blended.
• 3 Stir in the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until
  completely mixed (I like to use a whisk). If mixing in a small bowl, transfer
  the batter back into the mug.
• 4 Microwave on high for 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes (90 seconds). The timing of the
  mug cake will depend on the size of your mug and your microwave. Be careful not
  to over-microwave. The top will be just set. In my microwave, it is perfect at 1
  minute 10 seconds.
• 5 Let it cool for a minute before eating. Top with whipped cream, vanilla ice
  cream, or simply a dusting of powdered sugar (or make a quick glaze with
  powdered sugar and water). Top with a sliced lemon for a fancy touch. Enjoy!
