Method
step 1
Combine all the dry ingredients into bowl and mix until well combined.step 2
Add egg, melted butter, and milk. Whisk with fork until thoroughly mixed into batter consistency.step 3
Pour half (approx. 115g of batter) into small mug or bowl to yield one serving. If you're using a topping such as marshmallows or sprinkles, I recommend mixing them into the batter as well.step 4
Microwave for 40-70 seconds. It might need longer or shorter depending on microwave and wattage but I've found this to be a fairly accurate range.step 5
If you would like to add a glaze, mix 4 teaspoons powdered sugar with a few drops water and stir, then drizzle onto cake. Enjoy :)
