Make a warm, cinnamon-swirl dessert in minutes with this easy, single-serving Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake recipe. You get instant gratification with classic flavors.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 4 tablespoons
  • Granulated sugar: 3 tablespoons, divided
  • Baking powder: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Milk: 3 tablespoons
  • Melted butter: 1 tablespoon
  • Vanilla extract: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Powdered sugar (for glaze): 2 tablespoons
  • Milk (for glaze): 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and baking powder.
  2. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. In a small separate bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and the cinnamon to create the swirl filling.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the mug.
  5. Use a toothpick or small knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter a couple of times.
  6. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Check for doneness; the cake should look set but still soft. Cooking time varies by microwave power.
  7. While the cake cools slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of milk in a small bowl to make a simple glaze.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the warm mug cake and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute the milk with buttermilk.
  • If you prefer a runnier glaze, add a tiny bit more milk to the glaze mixture.
  • Watch your microwave carefully; overcooking makes the cake tough.
