Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir thoroughly until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps.
Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check the cake’s doneness; if the top is still wet or jiggly, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until the cake is set and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the mug cake to cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. For extra indulgence, top with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave wattage; adjust as needed.
Use non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
Substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
Be careful when eating directly from the mug as it may be hot.
