Snickerdoodle Mug Cake

Snickerdoodle Mug Cake bakes up in the microwave in just one minute, yielding a warm, cinnamon-sugary treat that will satisfy any sweet tooth!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon until thoroughly, completely combined, with no streaks of any ingredients remaining. Blend in milk, butter, and vanilla until batter is smooth. Into a 14-ounce (or larger) microwave-safe mug with straight sides, scoop a big spoonful of batter, then sprinkle with a spoonful of cinnamon sugar. Alternate layers, ending with cinnamon sugar.
2. Microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until cake is done to your liking. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

A tall, cylindrical mug with straight (not angled) sides will ensure that the cake bakes evenly. I found a 14-ounce mug to be the perfect size to allow the cake to rise up while baking without overflowing. (I filled my mug to the top with water and then transferred the water to a measuring cup to determine its capacity.) If you use a smaller mug, you may want to bake the cake on top of a plate or paper towel to catch any possible overflow.

The strength of individual microwaves can vary. The first time you make this recipe, be prepared to experiment a bit to make sure that 1 minute is the perfect length of baking time. The nice thing about this cake is that even if it is undercooked, you don’t have to worry about raw eggs!

Unsalted butter will work just fine in this recipe, but I find that using salted butter adds a tiny flavor boost.

Peppermint Swirl Mug Cake

This mug cake tastes just like a peppermint candy and has swirls of red mixed in, making it very festive.

Ingredients:

•  4 tbsp all-purpose flour
•  1/4 tsp baking powder
•  1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
•  3 tbsp fat free milk
•  3  tsp granulated sugar
•  1/4 tsp peppermint extract
•  1/4 tsp vanilla extract
•  1  drop of red food coloring

Optional Toppings

•  Cool Whip
•  whipped cream frosting
•  chocolate drizzle

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients except food coloring into an oversized microwave safe mug. Mix with a whisk until batter is smooth. Add in one drop of food coloring. Using a fork, gently swirl in a circular clockwise motion until red swirls form, but stopping before cake batter turns completely red.
2. Cook in the microwave for about 1 minute or until done. The cake is a bit plain, so I recommend that you serve it with whipped cream, Cool Whip, or a chocolate drizzle.

Keto Chocolate Mug Cake

A single serving keto mug cake recipe so soft, so rich, so chocolatey… and definitely not meant for sharing!
Total Time: 1m Yield: 1 cake

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup almonds or pecans, or 6 tbsp almond flour
• 1 tbsp + 2 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener of choice
• pinch stevia, or additional 2 tsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 3 tbsp milk of choice (or 2 if using liquid sweetener)
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• optional, chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips

Instructions

• *If using almonds, grind them in a blender or food processor to achieve a flour-like consistency. It will be coarser than if you use almond flour (hence the almond pieces you can see in the photos), but both versions work.
• Combine all ingredients in a greased ramekin or small mug. Either bake in a preheated 350F oven for about 10 minutes, or cook in the microwave. If microwaving, time will vary depending on wattage and desired gooeyness. I started with 30 seconds, then added two 15-second intervals after that. The cake will look a bit gooey when it comes out, and it firms up as it cools. But there’s no need to wait for it to firm up too much – this cake is meant to be eaten straight from the mug!
