Snickerdoodle Mug Cake

This Snickerdoodle Mug Cake is a delicious way to satisfy your craving for something sweet. Made in just a couple of minutes in the microwave, this is the ultimate easy dessert. This recipe is gluten-free with a vegan option.

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 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 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 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!
