What you will need:
1 largish mug
4 Tbsp Bisquick (or any off-brand pancake mix)
4 Tbsp water
2.5 Tbsp sugar
2 Tsp oil
1 Tbsp imitation vanilla extract
2 Tbsp cocoa (optional , if you want a chocolate cake add this, if not it still tastes great without)
Method:
Combine all ingredients in the mug and hand whisk until a smooth batter has formed. Once the mixture is as smooth as possible, place mug in microwave. Set timer to 1 min 45 secs and microwave on high.
Once this is done let sit for 30 secs and remove from microwave (careful, mug will be hot!) then simply spoon in some of your favourite ice cream, or leave it as it is and enjoy!
