Cook one mug at a time in a microwave oven set at 800 watts (medium high, see manufacturer's instructions), for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove mug and allow to cool. Add powdered sugar to cream and beat until stiff. Place a dollop of cream on each cake. Sprinkle with remaining nuts and some cinnamon.
Tips:
- For extra moisture: You can add a spoonful of applesauce or a bit of grated zucchini in place of some of the oil or milk.
- Spices: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for additional spice if you like.
- Nuts and dried fruits: Customize your cake with your favorite nuts (like pecans) or dried fruits (like cranberries) for a unique touch.
- Vegan version: Replace the milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk and use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 2.5 tbsp water) instead of the regular egg.

- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey for an indulgent treat.
- You can also top the cake with fresh cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
