Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Microwave Coffee Cake.
Step 1
Start by softening 1 tablespoon of butter in a microwave-safe mug. Just pop it in the microwave for about 10 seconds until it's nice and melty. Once softened, stir in 2 teaspoons of white sugar until it dissolves completely, creating a sweet buttery base.
Step 2
Next, add in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of applesauce, 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 drops of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter that’s ready to rise and shine!
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Use your hands to mix it until it resembles lumpy sand. This will be your delicious topping, adding a delightful crunch to your cake.
Step 4
Now, sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the batter in your mug. It’s the perfect finishing touch!
Step 5
Pop your mug into the microwave and cook for about 50 to 80 seconds. Keep an eye on it; you want the coffee cake to be just barely set. The aroma will fill your kitchen, and you’ll know it’s almost time to dig in!
Step 6
Once done, let it cool for a minute or two before enjoying. This warm, comforting coffee cake is perfect for a quick snack or a sweet treat any time of day.
