  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

  1. Pour the batter into a greased microwave-safe jar, ramekin, or mug.
  2. Microwave for 60–90 seconds, or until the cake is set and fluffy. (Timing may vary by microwave.)


🫐 Blueberry Compote (Quick Stove Method)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional for thickening)

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the berries break down and the sauce thickens.

  1. For a thicker compote, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  2. Let cool slightly before using.


🍽️ To Assemble:

  • Spoon warm or chilled blueberry compote over the cooked vanilla cake.
  • Top with fresh blueberries and a dusting of powdered sugar for garnish.
