Instructions
-
Step 1
Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together in the small bowl.

Stir in 2 ¾ tbsp (40 ml) milk, 1 tbsp (14 gr) melted butter, and the vanilla until no dry flour remains.

Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and remaining 1 ½ tsp (7 gr) melted butter in the ramekin to make a thick filling.

Spoon half the batter into the mug, add the cinnamon filling, and cover with the remaining batter. Drag the fork through the layers once or twice to create a swirl.

Let the cake stand for 2 minutes.
