Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir well to make a sweet cinnamon mix, then set it aside.
In a large microwave-safe mug, add flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
Add milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Drop the cinnamon mixture into the batter and gently swirl it around with a toothpick.
Microwave the mug cake for 60 to 75 seconds, depending on your microwave. The cake should rise and remain soft in the center.
Mix powdered sugar with milk to make a quick glaze, then drizzle it over the mug cake if desired.
Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any accidents.
Do not overcook the mug cake; it should be soft and fluffy, not dry.
Experiment with toppings like nuts, extra glaze, or a scoop of ice cream for added flavor.
If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the amount of cinnamon in the swirl.
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the texture may vary slightly.
What can I substitute for vegetable oil?
You can use melted butter or coconut oil as a substitute for vegetable oil.
How do I know when the mug cake is done?
The mug cake should rise and look set on top. It should still be soft in the center but not wet.
Can I make this mug cake without the glaze?
Yes, the glaze is optional. The mug cake is delicious on its own or with other toppings like whipped cream or ice cream.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, but make sure to use a larger mug or microwave-safe bowl to prevent overflow.
