Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Lightly grease the inside of a microwave-safe mug with butter or non-stick spray.
- In the mug, add 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Crack 1 egg into the mixture and add 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- If desired, add 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice for a tangy cheesecake flavor and mix well.
- Microwave the mug on high for 60-90 seconds. Check after 60 seconds; the cake should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the mug cake sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly before enjoying.
- Top with whipped cream, berries, or crushed graham crackers for extra flair.
