Notes

  • As every microwave temp and time may vary, the first time you make this cake may need some adjusting with the time. As this recipe has no raw ingredients, it's safe if your cake is a little undercooked.
  • I prefer to cook my Snickerdoodle Mug Cake for the full 90 secs as it helps cook it all evenly through the mug like a full-size cake.
  • Make sure to use a big enough mug to make your dessert. You will need an 11 oz/300 ml mug or larger to make a tasty Snickerdoodle Mug Cake.
  • I also recommend putting the mug on a microwave-safe plate or napkin to catch any possible overflow of your dessert while cooking.
  • You or the kids can make this right in the mug to avoid dirtying extra dishes, especially if you use a wide mug. But some may be easier to whip all this together in a separate bowl and then transfer to your mug.
  • If you’re entertaining and want to make a Cinnamon Mug Cake for a crowd, you can double, triple or quadruple the recipe and mix in separate larger bowls. Then split and transfer to individual mugs and cook one at a time.
  • No-Churn Low Carb Ice Cream.
  • Instant Pot Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate.
  • Festive Fruit Punch.
  • Oatmeal Cookies. (awesome pantry dessert!)
  • Peanut Butter Banana Brownies.
  • Easy Magic Cookie Bars.
