Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon applesauce
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
2 drops vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Place butter in a microwave-safe mug and heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds until softened. Stir the white sugar into the warm butter until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the flour, applesauce, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the butter-sugar mixture. Stir until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the mug.
Microwave the mug on high power for 60 seconds. The cake should rise slightly and the center should be set but still moist. Let cool for 1 minute before eating.
