The Startup Cook - Apple Crumble Mug Cake 

Exhausting weekdays have become a part of everyday life. Therefore comfort food has become a necessity. But rather than sweating over a hot stove and tiring yourself further, stick to a dessert such as this. 

All you need is a few ingredients that could be located easily in your kitchen. It is perhaps not the prettiest cake one could make but it tastes as delicious. Better yet, this is one of those few cake recipes that don’t need an egg. 

Taking only a few minutes of your time this quick fix mug cake is just the pick me up you need. Your tired brain and body will thank you. 

Ingredients 

¼ cup + 1tsp of flour 
1 tbs + 1 tsp of butter 
1 tbs + 1 tsp of brown sugar 
1 tbs of apple sauce 
1/8 tsp of baking powder 
Cinnamon powder 

Directions 

Place a tablespoon of butter in a mug and heat until it melts. 

Then stir a tablespoon of brown sugar in to the butter. 

Add a ¼ cup of flour, baking powder, apple sauce, and a dash of cinnamon powder in to the butter mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated. 

In a separate bowl, add 1 tsp of butter, 1 tsp of flour, 1 tsp of brown sugar and dash of cinnamon to it. 

Mix until all the ingredients together become lumpy. 

Spoon the crumbly batter on top of the cake batter. 

Then place the mug in the microwave and heat it up for a minute. 

Devour while it’s warm. 

Disasters, Warnings and Tips 

This for sure isn’t the prettiest looking cake, but tastes mighty fine. 

I was watching an episode of House of Lies while eating this. #TeamMartyKaan 

Homemade apple sauce is the easiest. 

You need to pair this with a steaming cup of coffee. HEAVEN. 

I think the crumble is the best part of the cake.
