Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of versatile all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder for that perfect rise
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to enhance the texture
- A pinch of salt to balance the flavors
- 1/3 cup of milk for a creamy touch
- 1/3 cup of light brown sugar for a hint of sweetness
- 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to add a subtle richness
- A small egg for binding everything together
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice for a zesty twist
- 1 tablespoon of lemon zest for a burst of citrus aroma
- Butter for greasing the pan, ensuring a smooth release
Step 1
Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a cozy little bowl. In another bowl, blend the milk, rich brown sugar, fruity olive oil, a lovely egg, fresh lemon juice, and citrusy lemon zest into a fragrant concoction. Gently incorporate the milk mixture into the flour blend, stirring until the batter is harmoniously combined with a touch of lumpiness for character.
Step 2
Prepare a spacious microwave-friendly mug by greasing it with a velvety buttery touch. Pour the batter into the waiting mug, letting it settle into place. Pop the mug into the microwave, allowing the magic to happen for about 3 minutes. Once done, carefully retrieve the mug and let it rest for a brief 5 minutes to achieve its full potential.
