You know when you need just a little sweetness to get you through the day? When you don’t want to bake an entire cake because you really don’t want that temptation in the house? This Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Mug Cake is sure to satisfy that sweet tooth!

The recipe is based off of my popular vanilla mug cake. I just made this one taste more like. . .a doughnut. Meant to be enjoyed any time of the day, even at breakfast. 😉

I used a soup crock as my “mug” when making this cake. If you would like to use a traditional mug, make sure it is at least 16 ounces. I love using my soup crock for mug cakes because when you flip the cake out of the mug, it actually looks like a cake – and in this instance – it even looks like a doughnut. A doughnut without a hole of course. 😉

If you do decide to use a crock like I did, check the cake at about 60 seconds to see how it’s doing. In a crock it probably won’t need much more than that. I find that I leave the cake a bit longer when using a traditional mug.

Now you could just leave it in the mug, but I like to run a butter knife around the edges of the crock and just flip it out onto a plate.

And then I sprinkle on LOTS of cinnamon sugar. . .because it makes me happy.

And I promise it’s going to make you happy, too. This isn’t spongy in texture like lots of other mug cakes out there. Nope, not this recipe. It’s fluffy, moist and sweet – just like a doughnut is supposed to be. So if you have a minute or so to spare in your day, spoil yourself. You’ll be glad you did.

    Made this tonight, it was delicious! Thanks! I wish I could leave a pic

    Made it as is. The batter seemed too liquidy but it came our perfect, not spongey. I microwaved for 60 sec and it didn’t seem done, then +15sec then another +15 sec and it was good

      Agreed I think 1/8 tsp nutmeg would be better, but I guess it’s personal preference. Still good

    Quite tasty with a heavy texture. I personally think there was wayyy too much sugar though. Next time I’d have to use a less calorie ridden alternative.

      You’re so sweet, Serenity. Recipes are very subjective and not everyone will love everything I post. And that’s okay. My hope is that even if someone tries one of my recipes and doesn’t like it, they’re still willing to try another. Chances are they’ll find at least one winning dish on my site. Thanks so much for your note. Hugs to you!

    I replaced the butter with coconut oil and the milk with almond milk to make it vegan and it came out great! The kids loved it.

      What doesn’t look like what’s on the picture? Did you use a soup crock when you made the cake? If you did, it should have turned out just like the photo. Let me know and maybe I can help troubleshoot!

    Hi Sara,
    Thanks for the cinnamon sugar doughnut mug cake recipe! This is the third cinnamon mug cup recipe that I have tried and yours is a keeper! I want to know what the calorie/nutritional info is for this recipe. I subbed one tablespoon of the sugar with Stevia and it tasted just right. The cake is moist, tender and delicious. Will be making it again, probably recipe for two mugs, not one.

      Hi Linda, you can probably plug the ingredients into an online nutritional calculator online to find that out. I don’t include one on my site because they can often be inaccurate.

      It ranges between 320-350 KC depending the fat % of the milk. Highest is using whole milk, lowest is skim.

    I’ve tried many mug cakes a and this one was the best by far I also added a oat milk and powered sugar glaze to the top which I think made it really good.
