In a microwave-safe mug, add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine evenly.
Add yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and lump-free, scraping the sides and bottom.
Microwave on medium-high power (800W) for about 1 minute. The cake should rise and set while staying soft inside.
Let it cool for 1–2 minutes before frosting.
For frosting, mix powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon powder until smooth. Spread or drizzle over the cooled cake.
Finish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder. Serve warm and enjoy!
Add chocolate chips, berries, or a spoon of Nutella before microwaving for extra flavor.
For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
To make it vegan, replace yogurt with plant-based yogurt and milk with almond or soy milk.
Microwave for 60–70 seconds at 800W. Adjust time slightly based on your microwave wattage.
If the cake is too dry, reduce microwave time by 10 seconds or add 1 tsp milk next time.
