Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for topping)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces to prevent overflow), add 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Add 3 tablespoons of milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until there are no lumps and you have a smooth batter.
In a small bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until it forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter in the mug.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and the top is set. Keep an eye on it as microwave times may vary slightly.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Coffee Cake in a Cup warm, straight from the mug!
