Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Swirl:
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon melted unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the mug.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the swirl.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in the mug. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is cooked through and slightly firm to the touch. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
- Let it cool for a minute before enjoying directly from the mug.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon swirl.
- Top with a drizzle of cream cheese frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra treat.
- Ensure your mug is microwave-safe and large enough to accommodate the batter as it rises.
