Servings 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup self rising flour*
- 1 pinch salt
Lemon Glaze
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
For the Cake
- Mist the inside of a mug with baking spray to help keep the cake from sticking to the inside as it cooks.
- Combine all of the ingredients into the mug and give a good stir with a fork or spatula.
- Microwave 45 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has cooked fully. I check mine about 1 minute into the cooking time.
Lemon Glaze
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over your cake and enjoy!
Notes
*No self rising flour? No problem! Substitute 1/4 cup all purpose flour plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Something to note: Each microwave will be different due to the different wattages. They range from 600 to 1200 which means your microwave could take a little longer or cook quicker. My microwave is 950 watts and it takes me about 1 minute to cook this cake.
