  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch sal t
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

  • Stir the mixture with a small whisk or fork until the batter is smooth and no flour pockets remain.
  • Place the mug in the center of the microwave and cook on high for 75 to 90 seconds.

  • Remove carefully and allow the cake to rest for 2 minutes to finalize the internal structure before serving.
