Or for one, just assemble the other half in another mug, cover and stick in the fridge for later. =] My mother has something we like to refer to as "THE BOX." The box is a huge box full of 'found' recipes she's haphazardly thrown into it over the years, but has probably only made a fraction due to the inability to find any of the recipes when you need them. I have the equivalent of "THE BOX" on my laptop. =] So I was going through all my files last night and came across this gem. It's really tasty and easy. And if this is what all the recipes I've collected are like... I need to organize.=]

How To Make coffee cake in a cup for two

  • 1
    In small bowl, cream softened butter and sugar with a spoon or fork(you definitely don't need a mixer for this recipe!). Add egg, sour cream and vanilla and mix until smooth.
  • 2
    Add flour and baking powder, stir until smooth. Split the batter between two coffee mugs. Set aside.
  • 3
    In a separate small bowl or ramekin, mix butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until evenly blended. Split in half and place on top of the batter in each mug.
  • 4
    Cook one mug at a time in the microwave. I would start out with one minute and continue by 10 to 15 second increments until it's your desired doneness. (I usually do about one minute and twenty seconds)
  • 5
    Be careful because the mug and the cake will be really hot. Enjoy! =]
