Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon clove
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 teaspoons oil I used vegetable oil- could also use canola or melted coconut oil
  • ~½-1 teaspoon powdered sugar for dusting on top optional but encouraged!

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, ginger, clove, baking powder and nutmeg.
  • Now add the molasses, milk and oil. Mix it all together until you have an even consistency batter.
  • Take a small ramekin (I used a 4oz ramekin), spray it with non-stick spray and pour batter into it.
  • Microwave your mug cake for 1 minute and 15 seconds.
  • Allow it to cool slightly then add a sprinkling of powdered sugar on top.
  • Enjoy!
