Cuisine American, Belgian
- 1½ Tbsp unsalted butter (see notes for substitutions*)
- 2 Tbsp Biscoff spread (also known as cookie butter)
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 3 Tbsp milk
In a microwave-safe mug, microwave butter in 30-second intervals at 50% power, until the butter is melted and hot.
Add the Biscoff spread and stir with a spoon (or mini whisk) until smooth. Then, add the brown sugar and stir again until it's dissolved.
Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix gently until fully combined, until just combined (no more streaks). Avoid over-mixing.
Pour in the milk and stir until combined and smooth.
Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds**, or until the cake is set on top. If needed, microwave in additional 10-second intervals until done. The mug will be hot, so leave it in the microwave for a few minutes to cool. Add any toppings you want, and enjoy!
*Coconut oil (melted) should work as a substitution for the butter if desired.
**The cook time will depend on the shape and size of your mug.
Oven Baking Instructions: Alternatively, you can bake this cake in an oven-safe ramekin at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius) for about 8 minutes, until set.
As a note, I tested a similar version of this recipe with an egg yolk (and less milk), and it wasn't nearly as good flavor-wise or texture-wise. So you're not missing out on anything by not using an egg here! :)
