🕒 Prep Time: 3 mins

🔥 Cook Time: 2 mins

🍽 Serves: 1

🧂 Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)

• 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

• Pinch of salt

• 3 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

• 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• 1 tablespoon shredded coconut or coconut flakes (optional topping)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a microwave-safe mug (roughly 12 oz or larger), add:

   • 4 tbsp flour

   • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut

   • 1 tbsp sugar

   • 1/4 tsp baking powder

   • Pinch of salt
     Mix well with a fork.

2. Add Wet Ingredients:

   • Pour in 3 tbsp milk

   • Add 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil

   • Add 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
     Stir until fully combined and smooth.

3. Top It Off (Optional):
   Sprinkle a little shredded coconut or coconut flakes on top for texture and flavor.

4. Microwave It:
   Microwave on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes. The cake should rise and set. Don’t overcook—it’ll turn rubbery.
   (Microwave times may vary based on wattage.)

5. Cool & Enjoy:
   Let it cool for a minute or so. Enjoy straight from the mug or tip it onto a plate.

🍫 Optional Variations:

• Add a few white chocolate chips or chopped nuts before cooking.
