Snickerdoodle mug cake will satisfy all those cake and cinnamon sugar cravings! This single serving mug cake is another variation from my mug cake collection and it’s definitely one you don’t want to miss, especially if you love cinnamon sugar (snickerdoodle)!
New Flavor Alert: Snickerdoodle Mug Cake
As a self-proclaimed (and internet-famed) mug cake queen, I have to keep adding flavors onto my mug cake collection! It all started out with the classic chocolate mug cake and today, I am sharing with you a snickerdoodle mug cake. If you love cinnamon sugar and a buttery cake base, then this single serving cake treat is for you. As always with majority of my mug cakes, they’re egg-free, light, fluffy, and oh-so-easy!
This snickerdoodle mug cake is like a coffee cake or a snickerdoodle cookie in cake form. It uses the base of my vanilla mug cake but with a smidge more butter to make it snickerdoodle-like. Swirls of cinnamon throughout the batter and topped with a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping makes for a snickerdoodle mug cake that is the best way to satiate your sweet tooth!
Recipe Tips for Snickerdoodle Mug Cake Success
- Everyone’s microwave is different and while I give a suggestion on how long to cook it for, it is impossible to tell you exactly how long. The time is a suggestion based on my microwave wattage (950 watts). If you have a higher wattage and/or a lower wattage, you will need to adjust for more or less cooking time.
- I like putting a paper towel under my mug in the microwave in case it overflows. It makes clean up a lot easier!
- Make sure your mug is microwave-safe. Mug sizes do matter, as well! It will take longer to cook the mug cake if your mug is larger.
- This needs to be consumed immediately — well, not like straight out of the microwave but like, you can’t let it sit and consume it 24 hours later kind of thing. It’ll become flat, dense, and just overall not good.
