¼ teaspoonbaking powder

Instructions

Step 1

Lightly coat a 10-ounce or larger mug or ramekin with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, stevia, baking powder, and salt (see Tip). In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, yogurt, milk, egg white(s), and vanilla. Fold in the cherries. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the prepared mug or ramekin and microwave for 3½ minutes, then check to see if it’s set. If needed, add an additional 30 seconds. (Note that because microwaves vary in their power level, always start with the minimum time, then check and continue cooking if necessary.)

Step 4

Immediately run a knife around the edges to help separate the cake from the mug. Firmly place a plate over the mug, flip the mug over, and gently shake the mug to release the cake onto the plate.

Step 5

Let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 6

TIP: You can make this into a confetti vanilla cupcake by adding 1 to 2 teaspoons sprinkles when you mix the dry ingredients.
