Instructions

Add the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a microwave-safe mug and mix well.
Pour in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
Stir until the batter is smooth and no dry flour remains.
Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds until the cake rises and sets.
Let rest for 1 minute before eating.

Notes

Use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum for best texture. Do not overcook or the cake will become dry. Add chocolate chips, berries, or a spoon of yogurt on top for variation.
