Microwave orange mug cake

There are some days that we do like to have some cake on that instant but thinking on the long procedure measuring, beating, baking in an oven for a long time and having the cake after an hour is really a tough part. On those days, these kind of cakes plays a big part and you can get the same taste as the normal cake.Microwave orange mug cake is a quick easy-peasy one that you can make it in mins. For the beginners in baking, can never go wrong in making this cake. You need only very small quantity of ingredients and max 2-3 mins baking time to make this mug cake.


Yields : 2-3 servings

Ingredients:
1. Egg- 1 small to medium size
2. Vegetable/sunflower oil- 3 tbsp
3. Sugar- 1/4 cup
4. Self raising flour- 6.5 tbsp
5. Orange juice- 3 tbsp
6. Orange zest- 1.5 tsp
7. Vanilla extract- 1/2 tsp
8. Lemon juice- 1/2 tsp (optional)
9. Salt- a pinch

Method:

1. In a bowl add egg and oil. Whisk them well.

2. Add the orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Mix them well.

3. Add 1/4 cup of sugar. Whisk them with the mixture until it combines well.

4. Add self raising flour, a pinch of salt and combine them well.

 

5. Pour the mixture in 2-3 mugs. Make sure it should fill just below the half level of mug.

6. Microwave each one in separate at high for 1-2 mins. It took exactly 1 min 20 sec for me. Every microwave oven is different so just start with 1 min. Be careful when you take out the mug from microwave. It will be very hot. 

You don't need any frosting for this cake as the cake itself is moist and spongy. You can have it either cold or mild hot. You can also refrigerate the mixture for the next day and have as breakfast in the morning by just microwaving it. 

Serve this microwave orange mug cake with some cocoa powder or icing sugar dusting on top.
