🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Grab your favorite mug. It should be microwave-safe and big enough to hold the batter plus some extra room for it to rise – about 12-14 ounces is perfect. I once used a tiny teacup and learned that lesson the hard way!
- In the mug, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and chamomile tea (straight from the tea bag—just rip it open!). Make sure there aren’t any clumps. Lumps in your batter are no fun when you’re expecting cake, trust me on this.
- Add the milk, melted butter, and honey to the mug. Stir everything together until just combined. Don’t overmix! A few small lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake, and nobody wants that.
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds. The exact time will depend on your microwave, so start with 60 seconds and check. The cake should be risen and slightly firm to the touch. If it’s still gooey, give it another 15-30 seconds. But be careful not to overcook it, or it will become dry.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before digging in. This gives it a chance to set a bit more. You can sprinkle a little extra chamomile or drizzle some honey on top for an extra touch of yum. Enjoy your little moment of bliss!
- Clean up your mess—but not until after you savour every bite of your honey chamomile mug cake.
📝 Notes
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of dried chamomile flowers on top after cooking.
- If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use regular flour and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt.
