Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
  • 1 teaspoon sugar for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
  2. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the batter and gently mix it in until evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. Microwave on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds. The cake should rise firmly to the touch and look set.
  2. Allow the mug cake to cool for about a minute before serving. Optionally, top with additional sugar and cinnamon for extra sweetness.

Notes

Tips for Best Results: Don’t overcook; keep an eye on the microwave; overcooking can lead to a dry mug cake. Start with one minute and check for doneness. Ensure the ingredients are well combined to prevent dry clumps. Experiment with flavors by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or peanut butter. Use a large mug to allow the cake to rise without spilling over.
