Mix. In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, ¼ cup milk, 1 ½ tablespoons melted butter, and 1 pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is smooth and evenly distributed. Then add ¼ cup all-purpose flour and mix until smooth again.Make crumb topping. In another small mixing bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients (1 tablespoon softened butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon). Mix until a crumb-like texture is formed.Pour into mug. Add your cake batter to your microwave-safe mug and top it with the prepared crumb mixture. Bake. Microwave the coffee cake mug cake for 1-1 ½ minutes, or until baked all the way through (*see note). Let your cake sit in the microwave for at least 1 minute to rest and cool before eating. This coffee cake mug cake is wonderful as-is, but a drizzle of toffee sauce or a dollop of whipped cream never hurts! Then kick back, relax, and enjoy some dessert all to yourself! If you’d like to try your hand at baking a larger coffee cake, or you need one to share, both my Bisquick coffee cake and Maraschino Cherry Coffee Cake are easy and delicious! Enjoy! 💭 Angela’s Tips & Recipe Notes A pinch of salt is roughly 1/16th of a teaspoon.A mug that is not tapered and is the same size all the way around will cook your mug cake the most evenly.Place a paper towel beneath your coffee mug when baking in case of overflow.To check if the mug cake is baked through, stick a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, it is ready. If it comes out with wet batter on it, microwave it for a few more seconds and check again. Storing: Your mug cake is best right after baking but should you need to refrigerate it, do so in an airtight container for 2-3 days. This equally delicious when served cold, so no need to reheat!
