After several requests, I finally got around to making a new Crazy Mug Cake. Today, I am sharing a single serving mug version of my viral Snickerdoodle Crazy Cake….Snickerdoodle Crazy Mug Cake! So EASY, made with Pantry Staples! No eggs, Milk or Butter. A cherished cookie transformed into a yummy mug cake!
SNICKERDOODLE CRAZY MUG CAKE (No Eggs, Milk or Butter)
This is the BEST single serving Snickerdoodle Mug Cake (aka, Snickerdoodle Mug Cake, Snickerdoodle Depression Cake) – made without eggs or dairy! The cherished cinnamon and sugar snickerdoodle cookie is transformed into a wonderful mug cake using pantry staples. This easy dessert whips up quickly, ready within 2 minutes or less in the microwave. Super moist, absolutely delicious!
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SNICKERDOODLE WACKY MUG CAKE
- flour
- sugar
- ground cinnamon
- salt
- baking soda
- cream of tartar (optional)
- vanilla, canola oil (or vegetable oil)
- apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- water
HOW TO MAKE SNICKERDOOLDE DEPRESION MUG CAKE
Spray a 16 ounce microwave safe mug with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon sugar topping – set aside.
In a mug or small bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Next add the wet ingredients and mix well using a fork, until batter is smooth – transfer to mug if using a bowl.
Place your Snickerdoodle Crazy Mug Cake in the microwave and cook on high for 1 1/2–2 minutes uncovered. Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Be sure not to over bake! Sprinkle top of cake with cinnamon sugar – enjoy!
*Cake batter can be mixed in a microwave safe mug (16 ounce size) or mixed in a small bowl then poured into a mug.
It’s awesome topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel…or both! A dollop of whipped cream is wonderful too.

Snickerdoodle Crazy Mug Cake (No Eggs, Milk or Butter)
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 5 1/2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 Tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- pinch of cream of tartar (optional – see note below)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon canola oil (or vegetable oil)
- 4 1/2 Tablespoons water
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
1/2 Tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
*Cake batter can be mixed in a microwave safe mug (16 ounce size) or mixed in a small bowl then poured into a mug.
Spray a 16 ounce microwave safe mug with non-stick cooking spray.
In a mug or small bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Next add the wet ingredients and mix well using a fork, until batter is smooth – transfer to mug if using a bowl.
TIPS
*Cream of tartar is not necessary if you do not have it on hand. Cream of tartar is used to give the distinctive tang taste in Snickerdoodle cookies, not as a leavening agent. You still get all the cinnamon and sugar cookie flavor if you leave cream of tartar out.
Make sure your baking soda and vinegar are fresh – they are what make the cake rise.
Thanks for stopping by!

This recipe is simply amazing! It curbed my sweet tooth! Definitely will make again!
Mariah Navedo
I did 2 tablespoons of white sugar and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. I doubled the amount of cinnamon and cooked for 2 minutes. Came out so much better!

It had a bit of an aftertaste and way to much cinnamon, but other than that it’s so good!
Mary Neumann
This recipe is easy to adapt, it you don’t like that much cinnamon, just reduce it next time.
Mary
This was delicious. I don’t like super sweet things and this was the perfect balance of sweetness and savory. I couldn’t find my cinnamon so I used pumpkin spice instead and it was more than amazing! I thought I’d try the mug cake before the full-sized cake and I am very glad I did!

I no longer have a microwave. Can this be baked in a regular oven or a convection oven which I do have. I am talking about the snickerdoodle mug cake.
Mary Neumann
Hi Anna,
If you have a small oven-safe baking dish you could make a small cake or 2 cupcakes or even 1 large cupcake (use cupcake liners) in the oven.Bake at 350 degrees f for 15-20 minutes.Check with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean – be sure not to over bake.
