Nothing says summer like berry desserts, and this Strawberry Shortcake is no exception…..except that it is….a sweet little dessert for just one!
This recipe makes a delicious, gooey white cake with very basic ingredients. And when you add some strawberries and a little whipped cream…it turns into a wonderful strawberry shortcake. Not only a dessert for one, this is a wonderful little cake that kids can have fun making themselves. They can help measure ingredients and stir the mix with a spoon until smooth. Kids love to stir! So let’s get to the recipe, shall we?
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon white flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
dash of vanilla
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons milk
Directions:
1. To a mug, add flour, sugar, vanilla, oil and milk. Stir until smooth as shown.
2. Cook cake in mug in microwave for 1 minute. {My microwave is 800 watts. If your microwave has higher wattage, cook for 50 seconds or adjust accordingly.}
After 1 minute in the microwave, there will be a nice tender and gooey cake. Let cool.
Once cake is cool, add some sliced strawberries and whipped cream. It will taste delicious!
It has been so fun being here with you and sharing this treat! I hope you enjoy it! Have a lovely week!

Strawberries are one of my favourite fruits, it's great they're in season here in the UK. This looks so simple, great for those times you just want a piece of cake but there's none in the house! Thanks for sharing
