But this method is different. It's quick, requires minimal cleanup, and satisfies my sweet tooth without the hassle. Now I make these cakes at least twice a week.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Tiny pinch of salt

Instructions

Mix dry ingredients: Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a microwave-safe mug. Stir with a fork until combined.

      Microwave: Place mug in center of microwave. Cook on high power for 60-90 seconds, watching carefully.

        Check doneness: Top should look set and spring back when touched. If needed, cook 10-15 seconds more.
