4. Let the cake cool for a minute and enjoy (see image #2)!

French Toast:

1. Mix together the egg, milk, syrup, cinnamon, and salt in a mug until combined.
2. Cut your bread into ½" squares.
3. Add the bread to the mug and press the cubes down so they are submerged within the liquid (see image #3).

Coffee Cake:

1. In a mug, soften butter in the microwave for about five seconds. Stir in the sugar, applesauce, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, stirring until just combined. Use the back of your spoon to smooth it out in the bottom of the mug (see image #5).
2. For the streusel, in a separate small bowl, combine butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use your fingers to combine these ingredients. When it achieves a crumbly texture, pour it on top of the cake batter in the mug.
3. Cook in the microwave for 50-80 seconds, or until it appears just set on top. If it appears to be undone, add 10 seconds.
4. Let the cake cool for a minute and enjoy (see image #6)!
