Coffee cake is such a classic comfort food. I love how it pairs perfectly with a morning cup of coffee or as a warm treat right before bed.

This single serving version is wonderful because you do not have to bake a whole pan. It is easy to make whenever you have a craving for something sweet and spiced.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar for the topping

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grease a standard microwave safe mug with a little butter or cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.

  3. 3

    Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into your prepared mug.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the batter.

  6. 6

    Microwave on high for about 60 to 90 seconds until the cake is set in the center.

  7. 7

    Let it cool for a minute before eating, as it will be very hot.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a small dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day and reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds.
