Streusel

Whisk the flour, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until it looks like wet sand. Set aside.

Cake

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Add in milk, butter, and vanilla, whisking well in between each addition.
Using 14-oz (or larger) microwave-safe mugs (straight sides works best), divide the batter between each mug.
Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
Microwave both mugs together for 2-3 minutes on high.
Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

This can also be made in the air fryer - cook at 350 for 12-13 minutes or until the cake is puffed.
