Cup of Coffee Cake (in 5 minutes)

Well if you are like me, there are times when you get those crazy cravings at 7:30pm-ish/an hour or 2 after dinner time... for something sweet. Noland, my fiance, is more of an ice cream man but I'm a cake lady myself.. Cake is my favorite! so I found this lil cup of joy..and decided to share!

of course, I topped off mine with some Cookies and Cream ice cream... yum

This literally took no longer than 5 minutes and it was so delicious.. 

Ingredients:

for the cake:

1 tablespoon of butter

2 tablespoons of sugar

I used 1/2 an egg (this is optional)

2 tablespoons of sour cream

a few drops of vanilla

1/4 cup of flour

1/8 tablespoon baking powder

crumbly topping:

1 tablespoon of butter

2 tablespoons of flour

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Directions:

1. Grab your coffee cup and add a table spoon of butter.. put it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds and soften.. Don't melt.

2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar

3. Now add some egg. This is optional because without egg, it's more crumbly and less cake-y. I broke the egg in half (if you are making 2, this works well because you can split the egg between 2 cups)

4. Then stir in 2 tablespoons of sour cream and a few drops of vanilla

5. Stir in 1/4 cup of flour and 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder

And for the crumbly topping...

1. In a separate cup, add 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Smoosh this all together with your fingers...or a fork

Now to cook...

When you ingredients are all mixed up. Add the crumb topping to the mixture.

Now I put mine in the microwave for 1 minute and 20 seconds... give or take

I moved mine to another coffee cup so you could see the cake-y-ness of it.

I also topped mine off with a scoop of ice cream.. yummy goodness.

and there you have it...

Oh.. and shout out to Prudent Baby who invented this magical deliciousness

& a few clarifications:

- it is safe to cook egg in the microwave, even if only for a a few minutes

- you can use yogurt instead of sour cream.. Not everyone has sour cream laying around the house.

Thanks for stoppin' by...
