Helpful Tips
For a richer flavor, you can use melted butter instead of vegetable oil. If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
To make a quick vanilla glaze, simply mix 1/4 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 teaspoons of milk and a drop of vanilla extract until smooth.
Storage Instructions
This mug cake is best enjoyed immediately, but if you have leftovers, cover the mug with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to warm through.
Pairings
Complement your Vanilla Mug Cake with a hot cup of tea, coffee, or a refreshing glass of milk. For a more indulgent treat, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some fresh berries on the side.
