Sometimes, it’s all you can do to throw stuff in a cup and nuke it. Make someone’s day a touch sweeter in minutes with this mug cake. Whisk together 4 tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoons sugar, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, 3 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and ½ teaspoon almond extract in a coffee mug. Gently fold in 1 tablespoon sliced almonds and 1 additional teaspoon honey. Microwave 1 minute. If still wet, microwave 15 more seconds. Serve warm.
