Ingredients
  

  • For the Mug Cake:
  • 1/4 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Batter:
  • In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the melted and cooled butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Make the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
  • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.
  • Assemble the Mug Cake:
  • Spoon half of the batter into the mug.
  • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar topping over the batter.
  • Add the remaining batter on top.
  • Finish by sprinkling the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the surface.
  • Microwave Cooking:
  • Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 45 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's power.
  • The cake is ready when it has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Enjoy:
  • Carefully remove the mug from the microwave—it will be hot!
  • Allow the cake to cool for a couple of minutes before indulging.
