Blueberry Crumb Mug Cake
Description
This is a taste of my childhood! My grandmother used to make a blueberry crumb cake that was my favorite. Snacking on this easy to make mug cake transports me back to sitting in her kitchen.

Instructions
-
Prepare a microwave-safe mug or similar container by wiping the inside with oil. Not absolutely necessary, but makes the mug easier to clean.
-
Make Crumb Topping
In a small bowl or ramekin, combine the ingredients for the crumb topping. Work the margarine into the dry ingredients with a fork until you have coarse crumbs. Set aside.
-
Add dry ingredients for the cake to the mug and mix. I find a small fork works well here.
-
Add wet ingredients into the dry and mix until lump free.
-
Add blueberries and mix in.
How many blueberries to add depends on how big they are. I usually drop in 8-12. You can use frozen berries. Don't defrost them. -
Microwave at full power for 45 seconds
-
Gently spread the crumbs over the partially cooked cake.
-
Microwave for an additional 30-45 seconds. Allow to cool slightly before digging in! Enjoy!
