Ingredients
  

For the Mug Cake

  • ¼ cup gluten free flour blend * see note
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • dash salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon light oil * see note
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk * see note

For the Icing

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • Add the wet ingredients to another bowl and mix well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.
  • Pour the batter into a mug, making sure the batter goes no more than 1/2 way up the mug.
  • Microwave the cake for 90 seconds.
  • Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice to make your icing and drizzle on top of the mug cake.

Notes

  1. If you are using a tall mug, you may need to microwave the cake 20 seconds longer.
  2. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend in this recipe. That doesn't mean others will not work; I have not tested other flours.
  3. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1/16 of a teaspoon.
  4. I used almond milk, but other dairy-free or regular milk will work. I do not recommend canned coconut milk.
  5. This mug cake will keep up to 3 days in an airtight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
