• 1 tablespoon butter, softened;
• 1 large egg;
• 1/2 teaspoon vanillin;
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar;
• 1/4 cup flour;
• 1 teaspoon baking powder;
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon;

1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients (except strawberries) and whisk until the dough is smooth and free of lumps.
2. Carefully add strawberries.
3. Grease the mug with oil and pour about 2/3 of the finished dough into it (so that the dough does not leak out when it rises). It’s even better to distribute the dough among two mugs so that it only takes up half the volume.
4. Place the mug with the dough in the microwave and keep it on high for 75 to 90 seconds or until done. The best way to control the cooking process is directly in front of the microwave. Since everyone’s microwave is different, for some the cake may be ready in 60 seconds, for others this process may take 2 minutes.
5. When the cake is ready, remove it from the microwave and let it cool.

Meanwhile, make the glaze:

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted;
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar;
• 1/4 teaspoon vanillin;
• 1 tablespoon cream (or milk).

Combine all ingredients (except cream) in a small bowl and beat to desired consistency. The thickness of the cream can be reduced by adding cream or milk.

Pour frosting over the top of the cupcake in a mug until it is saturated with it. Or carefully remove the cupcake from the mug (to do this, you need to run a knife along the sides of the cupcake, thereby separating them from the walls of the mug), turn it over onto a plate and pour creamy glaze on top.
