35 g self-raising (self-rising) flour
30 g salted butter
40 g Lotus Biscoff cookie butter plus an extra tablespoon of Biscoff for drizzling (optional - to serve)
30 g light brown sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon vanilla
a pinch of cinnamon
1 Biscoff cookie (optional - to serve)

Add the salted butter to a mug (see my notes for tips on size etc), cover with a sheet of paper towel then place in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds to melt.
30 g salted butter
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and mix to melt the sugar slightly.

Add egg yolk and stir until combined.
1 egg yolk
Add self-raising flour and cinnamon and mix until just smooth and combined (don't overmix).
35 g self-raising (self-rising) flour, a pinch of cinnamon
Microwave on high for 1½ - 2 minutes (check at 1½ minutes) depending on your microwave.
The cake is done when it's puffed up, but will still feel spongey to the touch and a little tacky on top. If it needs longer, do so in short 10 - 15 second bursts.
Serve immediately, decorated with a Biscoff cookie, some extra Biscoff (warmed) drizzled on top and sprinkled with Biscoff cookie crumbs (if using).

Mug size - a minimum of 350ml (approx 12 oz) capacity is required for this recipe. See the section above titled How to choose the right mug for more tips.
This cake won't be browned on top like a cake baked in the oven. This doesn't mean that it isn't cooked. Keep in mind that microwave ovens vary greatly as well.
Overcooking will result in a tough, rubbery mug cake.
When you take the cake out of the microwave it will sink into the mug slightly, this is normal.
