Coffee Cake in a mug-when you just want one serving, not a whole cake, and it’s so good!
I’ve saved the best for last.
This one is a little bit of work but it’s so worth it!
I love coffee cake fresh out of the oven, still warm, with a little glaze drizzled over top.
Now I can have it any time I want! And in less than 10 minutes, probably 5 if I don’t get distracted.
This is a true mug cake, one large coffee mug all to yourself or you could be nice and make it in two small mugs and share one with a friend, or your husband.
Or you could eat them both yourself, I won’t tell.

Coffee Cake in a mug
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons butter, cold
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- You can mix the batter directly in the mug or you can make it up in a separate dish.
- Place softened butter in dish then add sugar. mix until creamy and smooth.
- Add in your egg, and beat again.
- Now for your sour cream and vanilla. Stir again. You're almost there.
- Add in flour and baking powder and blend.
- Now combine your crumb topping ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Using a fork, blend the ingredients till crumbly.
- Now just put it all together, if you mixed in the mug just add the crumb topping on top.
- I like to layer mine. Batter, some crumbly, more batter, then the rest of the crumbs.
- Place in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. If your making 2 mugs from this recipe, it's probably done. If you made one large mug you probably need to bake for another 20-30 seconds.
- Combine your powdered sugar and milk, stirring until creamy and smooth. Now drizzle over your warm coffee cake.

I can see myself making these the night before for the kids, putting them in the fridge and then letting them pull them out before school in the mornings. Oh yes, super cool mom points!
Ooooh yes this is def my favorite too—especially because real coffee cake can be so involved. This looks so good!
Oh yes please! I’m going to be loving you every time I make this! Pinned it!
This is awesome Joan! I think I’m going to have one for breakfast … 🙂

Made this for my 12 year old yesterday, but substituted walnuts for the pecans. She said it was amazing!!
I love coffee cake, so I know this recipe will be made in the near future!
ooookkkkkk, now you’ve done it! I’m going to HAVE to make this!
Oh, I love coffee cake, but no one in my house really does. I will have to try this.

I’m eating this right now and it’s AMAZING!
Looks & Sounds amazing!!! Pinning!
Thanks Amber!
I’ve made this mug cake before and it’s Amazing! Those of you who can’t eat eggs or are weird about microwaving eggs, you can leave them out. The cake wont rise as much, but will still be super tasty. You can also use yogurt instead of sour cream if you don’t have it on hand.
Seriously, you gotta try this. So super yum. I have the recipe stuck to my fridge, you know, for emergencies. 😉
This is really good but it took longer than the time specified for two. Almost 3 1/2 minutes but I think time will vary with the type of mug used. And one shared between us was more than enough. We now have another fabulous dessert for tomorrow night!! Ill be using this one again!
So glad you enjoyed it CJ. Yes, every microwave is different so you definitely want to find the time that works for yours.
Oh my word!! That looks amazing!! 🙂
Can’t wait to try it!!
I love mug cakes because they don’t take much time, not as many dishes, and can be enough to satisfy sweet cravings! 🙂
I’m with you, mug cakes may be the greatest invention ever!
This really does look amazing and I’m going to try it (probably tonight…. which will answer my question). But I was wondering… do you have to “grease” or butter the mug before putting the ingredients in?
Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful recipes!
The taste and texture is perfect and it’s just the right amount.
Ok maybe I am being stupid but I have read and re-read the recipe but I cannot find any mention of coffee in the ingredients.
