Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 1 mug cake
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to ensure no lumps remain.
- Add the coconut sugar to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork until well combined.
- Pour the melted coconut oil and almond milk into the dry ingredients. Stir carefully until the batter is smooth and no dry flour patches are visible.
- Use a spatula or spoon to scrape down the sides of the mug, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of additional cinnamon on top of the batter for extra flavor and a classic snickerdoodle touch.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 45-60 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on microwave wattage.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave using a heat-resistant mitt or towel, as it will be hot.
- Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes to allow the texture to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Optional: Dust with a light sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy the warm, soft snickerdoodle mug cake directly from the mug with a spoon.
Tips
- Sifting is crucial: Always sift your dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
- Microwave wattage matters: Every microwave is different, so start with 45 seconds and adjust cooking time as needed. Overcooking can make the cake dry.
- Use room temperature almond milk for better ingredient integration.
- For extra richness, consider using melted vegan butter instead of coconut oil.
- The cake will continue cooking slightly after removal from the microwave, so don't overheat.
- Experiment with toppings like a dollop of vegan whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture.
- If you want a more intense cinnamon flavor, use freshly ground cinnamon instead of pre-ground.
