* Measuring spoons
Measuring cups
Small fork or whisk
* Spoon

Ingredients

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
3 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of ground cinnamon optional
2 –3 tablespoons diced fresh peaches or well-drained canned peaches

Optional Toppings

Vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream
Fresh peach slices
Honey
Caramel sauce
Chopped pecans

Instructions

Dice the peaches into small bite-sized pieces. If using canned or frozen peaches, drain and pat them dry.
In a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir just until combined.
Fold in the diced peaches, reserving a few pieces for the top if desired.
Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, depending on your microwave's power. The cake should be set on top but still soft.
Let the mug cake cool for 1 minute before serving.
Top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, fresh peaches, or caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

* Use a 12-ounce mug to prevent overflow.
* Start checking the cake after 60 seconds since microwave power varies.
* Do not overcook or the cake may become rubbery.
* Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but canned or thawed frozen peaches work well when drained.
* Enjoy immediately for the softest texture.
