Part 3: Coffee Cake in a Mug

I've always loved coffee cake. There's something about the sour cream and sugar combination--not to mention the crumb topping--that my tastebuds love.

Still, coffee cake requires a lot of sour cream and a decent chunk of time to make.

That's where the delicious Coffee Cake in a Mug comes in.

1/4 C. flour

1/8 t. baking powder

Crumb topping: 

1 T. butter, melted

2. T. flour

1 T. brown sugar

1 t. cinnamon

In a mug, mix together 1 tablespoon melted butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons sour cream, one-eighth teaspoons vanilla, one-fourth cup flour, and one-eighth baking powder. 

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 

Add the crumb topping to the mug mixture. Microwave for one minute. Check the cake and microwave in 10-second increments if not done.

Tip: The crumb topping is the best part; when I make this again, I'm going to double the recipe.

Why: Coffee cake is delicious but time-consuming to make. This easy, fast in-a-mug version allows you to make coffee cake whenever you want!

Mess-ups and Missteps: The coffee cake was a bit dry, so I'll use less flour next time.
