Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon granulated sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mug: Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In the mug, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract, then stir until the batter is smooth with no lumps remaining.
  4. Top with Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter in the mug for that signature Snickerdoodle flavor.
  5. Microwave: Cook the mug cake on high power in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The cake should rise and be set in the middle; microwaving times may vary, so monitor carefully to prevent overcooking.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let the cake cool for a minute or two. Enjoy warm directly from the mug or transfer to a plate. Optionally, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Microwave power varies, so adjust cooking time accordingly to avoid overcooking or undercooking.
  • Use a microwave-safe mug that can hold at least 12 ounces to prevent overflow during cooking.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute vegetable oil with melted butter.
  • Adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream makes this dessert even more delightful.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately; the cake may dry out if stored.
