How To Make cinnamon swirl snickerdoodle mug cake

  • Flour, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder in one bowl. Sugar and cinnamon in a second bowl.
    1
    In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, mix the additional cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
  • Wet ingredients added to the bowl.
    2
    Add wet ingredients to the first bowl. Mix with a small whisk until just combined.
  • Half the batter in the mug.
    3
    Pour half the batter into a 12 oz mug.
  • One teaspoon cinnamon sugar added to the mug.
    4
    Add 1 tsp of cinnamon sugar on top of the batter.
  • Remaining batter and cinnamon sugar added to the mug.
    5
    Pour the other half of the batter into the mug. Top with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  • Swirling the cake with a knife.
    6
    Take a butter knife and give it a quick swirl.
  • Cinnamon Swirl Snickerdoodle Mug Cake in the microwave.
    7
    Place in the microwave. Cook for about 90 seconds. Time may vary depending on the strength of your microwave. (Carefully remove the mug, it’s hot!)
  • Cinnamon Swirl Snickerdoodle Mug Cake out of the microwave.
    8
    The cake will puff up while cooking. When removed from the microwave it will settle down to about an inch from the rim.
  • Cream cheese frosting added to the top of the mug cake.
    9
    Top with 1 Tbsp of store-bought cream cheese frosting. If you top with frosting while it’s hot, it will melt like the topping on a cinnamon roll.
