Prep your mug: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
Melt the butter: In the mug, microwave the butter for about 10 seconds until melted.
Mix it up: Add the milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg to the melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
Add dry ingredients: Stir in the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Microwave magic: Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute. If the cake isn't set, give it another 10-second burst.
Let it rest: Allow the cake to cool for a minute—it helps set the texture.
