What Ingredients Do You Need

Here’s what you need to make this delicious Snickerdoodle mug cake. So have it ready when you start:

Cake flour or all-purpose flour (4 tablespoons)

Baking powder
Cinnamon
Milk – take any kind of milk regular or plant-based
Melted butter – use regular or plant-based butter
Vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:

How to Make Microwave Snickerdoodle Mug Cake

In a microwave-safe mug add all dry ingredients. Stir the cake flour, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder.
Add the wet ingredients to the mug. Stir to combine the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract with a fork until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the batter in the mug.
Put the mug in the microwave and cook on high (for me that is 800W) for 90 seconds. If your microwave has a different wattage start with 60 seconds and check with a bamboo skewer if it is done. The cake should be fluffy and slightly springy to the touch. If needed, extend using 10-15 second intervals until done.
Let the mug cake cool for at least 2 minutes because it will be hot when you take it out of the microwave. It is ready to eat.

Can You Store This Cake?

It is possible but not recommended. This mug cake is best consumed directly after baking. The cake gets tougher when you store it.

So make this cake when you want to eat it straight away else do not make it yet.

Tips for the Perfect Mug Cake

To make the best mug cake we have some tips for you to make it perfect:

Use a Microwave-Safe Mug. Make sure your mug is microwave-safe to avoid any accidents.
Don’t Overmix. Overmixing can make the cake dense. Stir until just combined.
Adjust Cooking Time. Microwave power varies, so keep an eye on your cake to avoid overcooking. This recipe takes 90 seconds if your microwave’s high is 800W.
Add Toppings like a drizzle with caramel, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or some extra cinnamon sugar.
