Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug (about 10-12 oz), whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. In a small separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  4. Gently sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of the batter. Use a toothpick to gently swirl it into the batter a couple of times.
  5. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Watch closely; cooking time varies by microwave power. The cake should be set but still slightly moist.
  6. While the cake cools slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of milk for a simple glaze.
  7. Drizzle the glaze over the warm mug cake before serving.

Notes

  • Microwave strength affects cooking time. Start with 60 seconds and add 10-second increments if needed.
  • Do not overmix the batter; this keeps your cake tender.
  • Use a standard 10-12 ounce mug for best results.
