Snickerdoodle Mug Cake

Recipe Highlights
Mug cakes are such a great easy, single-serving dessert that you can make in 10 minutes or less. They are perfect for when you don’t want to bake an entire cake, but you just want something sweet to satisfy your cravings.
This Snickerdoodle Mug Cake recipe uses almond flour as the base, so it is gluten-free and grain-free. And, although I do recommend using an egg white to help add fluffiness to the mug cake, you can leave it out to make this recipe vegan.
What is Snickerdoodle?
Snickerdoodle flavor is most commonly associated with snickerdoodle cookies. The hallmark is cinnamon and sugar. This Snickerdoodle Mug Cake re-creates those flavors, but in a cake form.
Recipe Steps
Step One
The first step to making any mug cake is to spray a microwavable mug or small ramekin with nonstick cooking spray. Then, you just add your dry ingredients.
Step Two
Next, add your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir. I like to use a small whisk to ensure there are no clumps.
Step Three
The last step is to microwave your Snickerdoodle Mug Cake. In my microwave, I usually cook mug cakes for 2 minutes. But, if you have a very powerful microwave, you may only need 1 1/2 minutes.
I always recommend putting the mug or ramekin on a small plate in case the mug cake spills over. I have never had that happen, but I supposed it could.
Step Four
Remove your Snickerdoodle Mug Cake from the microwave and sprinkle the top with the remaining coconut sugar. Let it cool for just a minute or two before serving. Be careful, it might be hot!
