Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk (at room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon until completely combined and no streaks remain. This ensures your batter is evenly flavored.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Blend in the room temperature milk, melted and cooled salted butter, and pure vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Layer Batter and Cinnamon Sugar: Using a 14-ounce or larger microwave-safe mug with straight sides, scoop a big spoonful of batter into the mug. Sprinkle a spoonful of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Repeat layering batter and cinnamon sugar until finished, ending with a layer of cinnamon sugar for a delicious topping.
  4. Microwave the Cake: Microwave the mug on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so keep an eye on the cake to ensure it is cooked through but not overdone.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the mug cake to cool for a couple of minutes before eating. This helps it set and makes it easier to enjoy without burning your mouth.

Notes

  • Make sure the milk is at room temperature to help the batter mix smoothly.
  • The mug must be at least 14 ounces to prevent overflow during microwaving.
  • Microwave times may vary; start with 1 minute and increase in 15-second increments if needed.
  • You can substitute salted butter with unsalted if preferred, just add a pinch of salt to the batter.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
