Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Mix into the batter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until the baking powder is evenly mixed in.
  2. Pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth, ensuring no dry flour remains.
  3. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the batter, and gently mix it in so it's evenly distributed.
Cooking

  2. Let it sit for 1 minute to finish setting and cool slightly before enjoying.

Notes

For best results, use a roomy mug to allow the cake to rise without overflowing. Don't overcook, and let it rest before eating to enhance the texture.
