[I]Where did Cooking Chums go?![/I]
Well I decided it was time to do some baking in a cup stuff again. Everyone knows about the chocolate brownie (more like sponge cake) in a cup, but this time we're doing a god damned cinnamon roll.
Recipe ([url=http://www.cookingclassy.com/2012/03/cinnamon-roll-mug-cake-made-in-3-minutes/]source[/url]):
2 Tbsp applesauce
1 Tbsp vegetable oil (sub more applesauce if needed)
1 Tbsp buttermilk (sub reg milk if needed)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 1/2 Tbsp packed light-brown sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 dash ground nutmeg (optional)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp (pinch) salt
1 Recipe Cream Cheese Icing, recipe follows
Cream Cheese Icing
1 Tbsp Cream Cheese or Neufchatel Cheese, softened
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp milk
Directions
Prepare Cream Cheese Icing according to directions listed, set aside. Combine all ingredients (minus Cream Cheese Icing) in a mug then whisk together with a fork until combine and nearly smooth. Microwave mixture on high power for 1 minute then check cake for doneness. If it is not fully cooked microwave for an additional 15 seconds. ** Serve warm topped with Cream Cheese Icing.
** I actually had to cook mine for 2 minutes. Varies with microwaves.
Now, I didnt take any photos of me doing this because thats a lot of work at 3am. I did make this however, and it turned out like the brownie. A sponge-like cake in a mug. It actually tastes like a cinnamon roll though, you just have to adjust the cinnamon in the recipe (more).
Doesnt take long, tastes like something out of the microwave. Its the poor-man cinnamon roll.

It's just on page two, though not a post for a week, i'll probably start posting more often in it.
I love cinnamon rolls so much. Thanks for creating this thread, I might aswell make my own someday.

So this was all a plot to get us to waste our applesauce!!

[h2]OK CINNAMON ROLL GO LET'S DO THIS[/h2]
Mixed up all the ingredients for the roll, then mixed up the icing. It was a little thin at first so I really whipped it up with the fork to get rid of the small chunks of cream cheese, it thickened after sitting for a few minutes.

One minute didn't cut it for me, I put it in for an extra minute and a half. It raised halfway up the mug, I'm not sure if adding more baking powder will make it rise more.

Visually I think it's decent. It looks like something homemade rather than something professional you'd get from a bakery like the one in the OP. It was a bit tough and a little on the dry side though but the icing helped. It was more like a muffin.

I probably butchered this recipe but it wasn't terrible. The applesauce I used (Pastor Chuck's Organic Applesauce) was a bit thick which might have had something to do with it. I also used dark brown sugar which wasn't very fine, it was kind of sticky in clumps which is why you see those dark brown spots of melted sugar in mine. I want to try changing the recipe to make different flavored muffins without the icing.
I give mine 6/10 tablespoons. [IMG]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-ramsay.gif[/IMG]
Tried it, liked it, would make it again.
Thanks OP.
Oh i love to do this when there nothing better around
I use something like 1 egg, some flour, some oil, nesquik, some milk
