Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 mug cake
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, thoroughly mix the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until well combined and no lumps remain.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring carefully with a fork until the batter is smooth and no dry ingredients are visible at the bottom of the mug.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter, creating a sweet cinnamon layer that will caramelize during cooking.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage, so watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready.
- Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes to allow the texture to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Optional: Top with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk, or add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Serve warm directly in the mug and enjoy your quick and delicious cinnamon roll mug cake.
Tips
- • Use a microwave-safe mug that's at least 12 ounces to prevent overflow during cooking • Stir ingredients thoroughly to eliminate any flour lumps for a smooth texture • Watch your cooking time carefully, as microwave strengths vary - start with 60 seconds and add more time if needed • Let the mug cake rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to achieve the perfect consistency • For extra richness, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk • Experiment with toppings like a cream cheese glaze, vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon • If the cake seems too dry, try reducing the cooking time by 10-15 seconds next time
