Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup self-rising flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Topping:
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or your favorites

Instructions
 

  • Prep your mug: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter: In the mug, microwave the butter for about 10 seconds until melted.
  • Mix it up: Add the milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg to the melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add dry ingredients: Stir in the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  • Microwave magic: Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute. If the cake isn't set, give it another 10-second burst.
  • Let it rest: Allow the cake to cool for a minute—it helps set the texture.
