Ingredients
For the cake:
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter (or oil)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
For the cinnamon swirl:
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp melted butter
For the icing (optional):
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp milk

Instructions
- Mix the cake batter: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and combined.
- Make the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture onto the batter and swirl it into the cake batter with a fork.
- Microwave the cake: Microwave the mug cake on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until the cake is fully cooked and springs back when touched. Be careful not to overcook, as microwave times may vary.
- Prepare the icing: While the cake is cooling slightly, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a simple icing.
- Serve: Drizzle the icing over the warm cake or top with whipped cream, and enjoy!
