Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, egg, fresh orange zest, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
Grease a microwave-safe baking dish or large mug (approximately 6 to 8 inches in diameter) with butter or cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour for the crumb topping.
Cut the softened butter (2 tablespoons) into the topping mixture using a fork or your fingers until it forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Microwave the cake on high power for 4–5 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Cooking time may vary by microwave wattage.)
Allow the cake to cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. For extra flavor, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze made from orange juice and powdered sugar.
Serve warm with a hot cup of coffee or tea and enjoy your Microwave Orange Coffee Crumb Cake!
