Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces to prevent overflow), add 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 2

Add 3 tablespoons of milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until there are no lumps and you have a smooth batter.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter in the mug.

Step 5

Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and the top is set. Keep an eye on it as microwave times may vary slightly.

Step 6

Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Enjoy your Coffee Cake in a Cup warm, straight from the mug!
