Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- ¼ teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, shredded coconut, milk, sour cream, coconut extract, and melted butter until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Microwave the Cake: Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, starting to check for doneness at 1 minute. The cake is done when it has risen and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with few crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool slightly before topping with your choice of buttercream frosting, whipped cream, additional shredded coconut (toasted or plain), and enjoy while warm.
Notes
- Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave—adjust accordingly.
- Use a microwave-safe mug suitable for cooking to avoid cracking or damage.
- For a richer flavor, try using full-fat milk and unsalted butter.
- To toast shredded coconut, lightly toast it in a dry skillet on the stovetop before adding to the topping.
