Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder directly into a large microwave-safe mug. Stir the dry ingredients together thoroughly with a fork until evenly combined with no lumps.
Add Wet Ingredients
Pour the melted butter and milk into the mug with the dry ingredients. Stir everything together vigorously with the fork until a smooth lump-free batter forms and no dry flour remains at the bottom.
Microwave the Cake
Microwave the mug on high power for 60 to 90 seconds. Check at 60 seconds by touching the center gently. It should spring back and look just barely set in the very center when done.
Rest and Enjoy
Let the mug sit for 1 full minute before eating as the cake continues to cook from residual heat and will firm up to the perfect texture. Eat directly from the mug with a spoon.
