This single-serve Biscoff mug cake is pure cookie butter heaven. Made with just 5 ingredients and no eggs, it's soft, gooey, and ready in 1 minute topped with vanilla ice cream and a glossy Biscoff drizzle.
Add 3 tablespoons Biscoff spread to a large microwave-safe mug. Microwave for 20–30 seconds, just until softened and easy to stir.
Add the brown sugar (if using), milk, and oil. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the flour and baking powder. Mix gently until you have a smooth batter with no dry flour pockets. Do not overmix.
Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Check the top, it should look set but still soft in the center. If needed, microwave in additional 10–15 second bursts (up to 90 seconds total). Avoid overcooking, as it can become dry.
Immediately add half a tablespoon of Biscoff spread on top while the cake is hot. Let it sit for a few seconds, then spread it gently so it melts over the surface.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with extra warmed Biscoff spread and garnish with Biscoff cookies and crumbs if desired.

Notes
For best results, mix the wet ingredients before adding the dry. Optionally, whisk the flour and baking powder together beforehand for a more even batter.
Before microwaving, you put a plate under the mug to catch any spills.
Microwave cake tastes best when eaten fresh. If you still have leftovers, cover the mug with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Nutella or peanut butter can be used as a direct substitute for Biscoff spread with no other changes needed.
