🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Melt the butter: In your microwave-safe mug, melt the butter for about 20-30 seconds. Keep an eye on it to prevent splattering! You want it completely melted but not boiling.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a small mixing bowl (or directly in the mug, if you're feeling minimalist), combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with a fork to ensure everything is evenly distributed. This step is important to avoid pockets of baking powder.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour the milk, tequila, lime juice, and vanilla extract into the mug with the melted butter. If using a separate bowl, add the melted butter to the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet ingredients.
- Mix until smooth: Use your fork to mix everything until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in a tough mug cake. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
- Add chocolate chips (optional): Gently fold in the chocolate chips, if using. I personally love the contrast of the lime and tequila with the chocolate—it's divine!
- Microwave: Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds. Cooking times can vary depending on your microwave's power, so start with 60 seconds and check for doneness. The mug cake is done when it's puffed up and slightly firm to the touch, but still a bit gooey in the center. (Trust me, you want the gooey center).
- Let it cool slightly: Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before enjoying. It will be very hot straight out of the microwave!
- Garnish (optional but encouraged): For the full margarita experience, rim the mug with salt and garnish with a lime wedge. A sprinkle of coarse sea salt on top also works wonders.
- Enjoy immediately: This margarita mug cake is best enjoyed warm, right out of the mug. Grab a spoon and dig in! Think about the warm, citrusy cake melting in your mouth as the tequila gives a slight kick.
