Strawberry Mug Cake

The perfect single-serving dessert: a luscious strawberry mug cake.

Ingredients:

• 1½ tbsp. (20 g) butter
• 1 tbsp. (15 g) sugar
• 3 tbsp. (45 g) warm milk
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp. (35 g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp. strawberries, cut into small pieces

Directions:

1. In a microwave-safe mug, melt the butter for about 20-30 seconds until fully melted.
2. Add the sugar to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
3. Pour in the warm milk and vanilla extract, and mix until the sugar has dissolved.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the mug, stirring well after each addition, until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
6. Gently add in the cut strawberries into the batter.
7. Air fry the mug 180°C for 2 minutes, or until it has risen and is cooked through.
8. Carefully remove the mug from the air fryer using oven mitts or tongs, as it will be hot.
9. Allow the mug cake to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
10. You can optionally top it with additional strawberries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
