Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 1)

For the Cake Base:

  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar (divided: 2 tbsp for the batter, 1 tbsp for the cinnamon swirl)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp milk (any kind works!)
  • 1 large egg yolk (save the white for another use)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (or granulated sugar if you don’t have brown)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Optional Toppings:

  • Whipped cream
  • Ice cream
  • Extra melted butter or caramel drizzle

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons of flour, and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a separate small dish, mix 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar with the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. Set aside.

2. Make the Batter

  1. In a microwave-safe mug (12–16 oz size), whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until fully combined and no lumps remain. The batter will be thick.

3. Add the Cinnamon Swirl

  1. Spoon half of the batter into the bottom of the mug.
  2. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter layer.
  3. Add the remaining batter on top, spreading it gently to cover the swirl.
