Another mug cake!

It's been a while but I'm back with another try at a mug cake.

Final product

This time my recipe is from a tiktok creator who's recipe uses:

Batter

• 6 tablespoons Plain flour
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• half a teaspoon Baking powder
• 60ml warm water
• 40ml of any type of oil

Cinnamon swirl

• half a tablespoon Melted butter
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• a third of a teaspoon Cinnamon

That's right! This time, it's a cinnamon swirl mug cake 😊 I love cinnamon swirls so was very excited.

So quite simple to start with, I put the dry ingredients of the batter into a large bowl (avoiding making it straight in the mug haha).

After this, I mixed the dry ingredients a little and added the warm water and olive oil.

Gave it a quick mix with a fork (I have no hand held whisk haha) and this is what the batter looked like!

Batter

I felt like the batter came out a lot more watery than it should but wasn't sure how to fix it. So just hoped it would work out correctly haha.
Now onto the cinnamon swirl aspect.

I quickly melted some of the butter in the microwave before this, which helped make it easier to mix. Then, I added all of the ingredients for it at once!

Super easy and quick, I now had the cinnamon swirl mix ready!

In the video, the tiktoker explains that you need to separate the batter into thirds, in order to layer in the cinnamon swirl mixture. They used a piping bag to add it in, however I just used a teaspoon and a fork to add it and make swirl effects.

After putting all of the batter into the mug, I put it into the microwave for the stated minute and a half. However, I had to keep putting it for longer as it kept coming out very 'wet' and raw looking.

Overall, it did taste good, but was really dense after a while.

final result

This recipe has potential, but definitely not as a mug cake haha.
That's it for today! 🙌
