Saturday Vittles
I know it says mug cake but I made mine in a ramekin.
This is not a healthy dessert. Nonetheless, some days a girl needs a piece of cake! 🤣🤣
Coffee Cake Mug Cake
That's right, this is a mug cake. I perfected the best recipe for a moist, fluffy mug cake.
Ingredients
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 TBSP brown sugar
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 TBSP butter, melted
Crumb Topping
1 1/2 TBSP butter, softened
2 1/2 TBSP brown sugar
1 TBSP flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
What to do:
In a mug (or ramekin), combine all ingredients for the mug cake. Stir until well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine ingredients for the crumb topping and mix together with a fork until it has a crumb-like texture. I mixed it with my fingers until it was crumbly, it was just easier.
Top with crumb topping.
Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Serve warm.
Just take a look at that moist cake! Omg this is the best mug cake I've made so far. That crumb topping is so good. If you like coffee cake, give this one a try.
It's better to make one piece of cake because if I made a whole cake, I will end up eating the entire thing over a few days. I have no self control with cake! 🤣🤣🤣 There's a reason I'm fat, and that reason is cake!

Anything including cinnamon gets my approval!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I love cinnamon.
DeleteThere's always time for cake - and often a need for it, too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteGood idea to have a mug cake, I would continue to each a larger cake over several days.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteI've never made a mug cake. I should give this one a whirl, it sounds so good! This method of portion control is wise.
ReplyDeleteThis one really is good.
DeleteI also appreciate the practicality in it. Knowing your limits with a whole cake and adjusting for it is just sensible living, really. The crumb topping sounds like the best part, the kind of thing that makes the whole kitchen smell like comfort for a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThat...looks...AWEsome!
ReplyDeleteIt's really good.
DeleteTreats are allowed sometimes!
ReplyDeleteYes they are.
DeleteI find that if I have a sweet one day I can more easily climb back on the healthy diet bus.
ReplyDeleteI can see that.
DeleteFrom a person who loves her cake, I love the sound of this recipe Mary. Mug cakes are great for a sweet tooth. I must have a zillion recipes for mug cakes and have made a few. This will be on my list. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome.
DeleteThat would sure work for me too!
ReplyDeleteIt's really good.
DeleteThat sounds scrumptious
DeleteI never made one, but I love the idea of a mug cake. When my daughter was in college, she used her rice cooker to make a cake. I like seeing people think outside the box.
ReplyDeleteThat's very smart.
DeleteLooks good :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was.
DeleteI do like coffee cake, if I made a whole cake my hubby would eat it all. Take care, have a great day and happy new week!
ReplyDeleteHe's like me. lol
DeleteMy weakness is donuts! I've never made a mug cake, but I've saved a few recipes on TikTok.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, the cake donuts. I don't like the airy donuts that have no substance.
DeleteI never liked coffee. But for some strange reason, I love coffee cake.
ReplyDeleteCoffee cake has no coffee in it so maybe that's the reason. I like it too.
DeleteMary, you have a good point! A mug is just enough!
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
DeleteA girl needs a splurge every once in a while! The cake looks delicious and I hope you enjoyed every bite!
ReplyDeleteYes, I sure did.
DeleteYou should my glufree, sugarfree muffin recipes as they are good for diabetus and they are still sweet enough to be edible and pleasant LOL
ReplyDeletelol Thanks, I will.
DeleteI used to make mug cakes, they were yummy
ReplyDeleteYes they are.
DeleteSometimes you just need cake!
