Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (about 15 grams)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp superfine almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or your favorite granular sweetener)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • small pinch of salt

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • 1 tsp unsalted butter, softened (about 5 grams)
  • 1/2 tbsp cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/4 tsp honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Add all cake ingredients in a microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small fork or whisk until the batter is smooth. Note: use a mug that can hold at least 8 oz of liquid – it will dome up but it will not overflow. 8 oz is the minimum size.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon sugar ingredients. Sprinkle half of it over the cake (save remaining for another cake or as an extra topping).
  3. Cook the cake in the microwave at full power for about 1 minute and 15 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook the cake because that will cause the cake to be dry when it cools.
  4. While the cake is cooling a bit, add room temperature butter and cream cheese to a small bowl mix until super smooth. Stir in honey.
  5. Place frosting into a piping bag or use a Ziploc bag and cut a small hole at one corner. Pipe a swirl over the still-warm cake or simply smudge the frosting over the top. The cake is best enjoyed warm.
