Ingredients

Scale
  • Cake Batter:
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1½ tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon Swirl:
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp melted butter
  • Glaze:
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp milk
  • ⅛ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • 1. Lightly grease large microwave-safe mug (12-14 oz capacity) with cooking spray.
  • 2. In mug, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon. Add milk, oil, vanilla. Stir until smooth batter forms (no dry pockets).
  • 3. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter for swirl. Sprinkle ½ swirl mixture into batter, swirl gently with toothpick.
  • 4. Microwave on high 75-90 seconds (microwave times vary). Center springs back when touched. Let cool 1 minute.
  • 5. Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over warm cake. Enjoy straight from mug with spoon.

Notes

  • Microwave power varies: start 75 seconds, add 10-second increments.
  • Large mug prevents overflow; straight sides cook evenly.
  • Oil yields softer cake; melted butter richer flavor.
  • No milk? Water works but less tender.
  • Perfect at 1:10, slightly underdone preferred over tough.
