Cake – 5 minutes

Instructions:

1. Mix ingredients:
   • In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk the egg.
   • Add milk, oil, and vanilla; mix well.
   • Stir in flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), and a pinch of salt until smooth.
2. Microwave:
   • Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave.
   • The cake should rise and be set but still soft and moist.
3. Serve:
   • Let it cool slightly.
   • Top with chocolate chips, fruit, or a spoon of whipped cream.
   • Dig in immediately — warm, soft, and satisfying! 😋

💡 Ashley’s Tip:

• For a vanilla version, skip the cocoa and add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
• You can also make a larger version in a small baking dish in the microwave for 3–4 servings.

If you want, I can give you a 5-minute cake recipe that’s flourless and ultra-milky — it’s creamy, soft, and almost custard-like! 🥛✨
