Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 30 grams
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 and ½ teaspoons granulated sugar I use raw light brown sugar in my kitchen, but you can use white sugar as well
3 tablespoons milk 45 ml
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
¼ tablespoon vanilla extract
10-12 blueberries fresh or frozen

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until completely combined.
Tip – You can mix the ingredients directly in the mug but I feel that mixing in a bowl is easier and more uniform.
Add milk, butter, and vanilla extract to the bowl and whisk to make a smooth batter.
Fold in the blueberries and pour the batter into a 14-ounces microwave-safe mug.
Tip – To check if the mug is 14 oz, pour 1.75 cups of water into it. If the water fits, the mug is the right size to bake the cake.
Microwave on high for 1 and ½ to 2 minutes, or until the batter is set.
Note - The time of cooking may vary because the microwave power varies in strength. Start with baking the cake for 1 and ½ minutes and then increase the time in increments of 30 seconds as needed.
Remove the mug from the microwave and let it rest for a minute.
Top with a scoop of ice cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

You can also divide the batter into 2 smaller mugs and make 2 smaller portions instead.

Try to make the cake in a mug with straight sides. It will help the cake to cook evenly and rise without overflowing the cup.

Place the cup in the microwave as soon as you add the batter to the mug so that the blueberries don't sink in at the bottom.

You can also use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free cake.

To make a variation of this cake, you can add a few other ingredients along with blueberries to the batter. Here are some options

Other berries like raspberries, strawberries, and cranberries
Chocolate chips
M&M’s
Sprinkles
Nuts

To make a vegan version of this cake, replace regular milk with any plant-based milk and butter with vegan butter, coconut oil, or light olive oil.
