Coffee Cake Mug Cake

Today I am showing you a Coffee Cake Mug Cake! This delicious treat is so simple to make but still really delicious. It's nice if you want a quick sugar fix without whipping up a whole cake or having to heat up your oven. Nope, no oven needed just a microwave. It's amazing how I can just pop a mug with a few ingredients into the microwave and have a delicious piece of coffee cake only a minute later.

Another really good thing about this recipe is that there are few ingredients, and the few ingredients you use only calls for small amounts of them. I like how I don't have to use up my whole flour and sugar supply to make this dish.

I got this recipe from a blog called Heather Likes Food:

Here is the recipe:

{2 minute} Coffee Cake in a Mug

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp applesauce
• vanilla extract, few drops
• ¼ C All Purpose flour
• ⅛ tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a mug soften 1 tbsp of butter in microwave, about 5 seconds. You don’t want it melted, just soft. Stir in 2 tbsp of sugar and mix until well incorporated. Stir in applesauce, vanilla (just a tiny bit, we’re talking drops), flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt; stirring until just combined. Use the back of your spoon to smooth it out in the bottom of the mug.
2. Want streusel? Of course you do! In a separate, small bowl, combine 1 tbsp of butter, 2 tbsp of flour, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Use your fingers to to pinch the butter and mix it in with the other ingredients. When it starts to look like lumpy sand (appetizing, eh?) and all ingredients are combined, pour on top of cake batter in mug.
3. Cook in the microwave for 50-80 seconds depending on your microwave. At 1 minute, my microwave cooks it perfectly. It will look just barely set on top. You don’t want to overcook it and things tend to get ugly fast in the microwave. I suggest cooking it 50 seconds, and then in 10 second intervals checking after each interval until done. Eat white it’s still warm. Once it cools off, it tends to loose some of it’s magic!

This mug cake was amazing!! I would recommend this to anyone with a sweet tooth, the cinnamon taste is just so good.
