• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add the melted butter, milk, egg, fresh orange zest, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 3

Grease a microwave-safe baking dish or large mug (approximately 6 to 8 inches in diameter) with butter or cooking spray.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour for the crumb topping.

Step 6

Cut the softened butter (2 tablespoons) into the topping mixture using a fork or your fingers until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 8

Microwave the cake on high power for 4–5 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Cooking time may vary by microwave wattage.)

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. For extra flavor, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze made from orange juice and powdered sugar.

Step 10

Serve warm with a hot cup of coffee or tea and enjoy your Microwave Orange Coffee Crumb Cake!
