A one-serving mug cake with cream soda and buttermilk, topped with butterscotch frosting and a drizzle of syrup. The frosting makes enough for a few more mug cakes.

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon cream soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Frosting

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup

Directions

  • Stir the cake ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Coat a glass mug with cooking spray, pour in the batter, and microwave for 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
  • Let cool. Beat the frosting ingredients together.
  • Spread frosting over the top, or scoop out some of the cake and layer cake and frosting, finishing with frosting.
  • Drizzle with butterscotch syrup and serve.

Notes

Refrigerate leftover frosting; it makes enough for 2 to 3 mug cakes. Safety: the batter contains raw flour, so cook it through.
