Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Choose a large microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz capacity) to avoid overflow during cooking.
- In the mug, combine the 1/2 cup self-raising flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk.
- Add the 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup milk, and the lightly beaten egg to the mug. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold in the 2 tablespoons of lemon zest and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Place the mug in the microwave. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. The exact time may vary slightly depending on your microwave's power (typically between 800-1000 watts). The cake should rise and be set (test by touching the top; it should spring back slightly).
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
- Optionally, you can dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream for extra sweetness.
- Dig in with a spoon and enjoy your warm, zesty, and delicious lemon cake straight from the mug.
Tips:
- Make sure to mix the batter well to avoid any lumps and ensure even cooking.
- Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any accidents or spills.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave's power to avoid overcooking or undercooking the cake.
- Feel free to add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
