A quick mug cake cooked in the microwave, ideal for a fast snack. Basic version made with egg whites (or whole egg) and the option to replace sugar and milk with vegan/zero alternatives. Very simple preparation and microwave cooking in just a few minutes.
In a large mug, combine the egg whites (or the whole egg) with the sugar and whisk lightly.
Add the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract (if used) and mix until smooth.
Stir in the oil and milk (or plant-based drink) and mix well until combined.
Place the mug in the microwave. Cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Open the microwave door for a few seconds to let the heat settle, then put the mug back and continue cooking for another 1 minute and 30 seconds or until the mug cake is cooked through.
Let it cool for a few minutes before eating.
