Instructions
- In an 8 ounce mug, use a fork to mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until well-combined.

Notes
Use a tall mug: Give the batter room to rise without spilling.
Measure lightly: Spoon and level flour so the cake stays soft.
Mix to the corners: Scrape the mug so there are no dry pockets.
Check doneness: Stop cooking as soon as the top sets, to avoid a rubbery texture.
Serve warm: The crumb tastes best when it’s just cooked.
