2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Add in the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest (if using). Stir until all ingredients are well combined and a smooth batter forms.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds. The cake should rise and firm up but remain soft and moist inside. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
Carefully remove the mug or bowl from the microwave. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar for a finishing touch and an extra burst of sweetness.
