Method

  1. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then spoon 4 tsp into a small microwave-proof mug or cup (about 200-225ml). Mix in the oil, egg yolk, milk and vanilla, followed by the flour and baking powder, until smooth.
  2. Spoon the jam into the middle of the mix, then sprinkle 1 tsp of the remaining cinnamon sugar on top. Microwave on high for 1 min, until risen and firm on top. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top. Serve with an extra spoonful of jam, if you like.
