Instructions

Prepare the Mug Cake

2. Swirl into the Batter: Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture onto the cake batter in the mug. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl it through the batter.

Microwave the Mug Cake

1. Cook the Cake: Microwave the mug cake on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become dry.
