What you need

Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.

Stir everything together in a large mug with a pinch of baking powder until smooth. Microwave ninety seconds and eat straight from the mug.

Ninety seconds from wanting cake to having cake, which is either wonderful or dangerous.

Big mug. It climbs much higher than you'd think and then it's on the turntable.
