Equipment:

1. a microwave

2. a large microwave safe mug or a container

3. spoons

4. a toothpick or skewer

Ingredients you will need:

1. 5 tbs all purpose flour

2. 25g butter (melted)

3. 2 tbs sugar

4. 1 tsp vanilla extract

5. 3tbs milk

6. Cocoa powder (optional)

7. sprinkles (optional)

8. Chocolate chips (optional)

9. 1/4 tsp baking powder

   
   

Steps:

1. Mix the melted butter with the sugar until dissolved

2. add in the vanilla extract and stir

3. fold in the flour with the baking powder

Baking tip: Baking powder gives a rise in cakes and any type of batter. The end product will be fluffy and airy! But do not misuse it! You may give the dessert the wrong texture!

To make the chocolate mug cake, these are the steps:

1. Following from the last steps, add in the cocoa powder and fold in the chocolat chips or chunks.

To make the party mug cake, these are the steps:

1. Fold in the sprinkles

2. Add 1/2 tsp of almond extract

Baking tip: Almond extract gives nutiness and brings in the party vibe! It can make a huge difference in vanilla and party cakes.

(Party cakes are just cakes with sprinkles baked inside with sometimes a well. So when you cut it open, sprinkles will flow out! They are often vanilla flavoured and topped with whipped cream and more sprinkles.)

Back to the mug cakes:

1. After adding the extra stuff based on what flavour you want, microwave the cake mixture for 1 min 30 sec.

2. Take it out and insert the toothpick inside. The toothpick c=should come out clean.

3. Add any topping you want

4. enjoy!
