Combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Gradually add milk while mixing with a fork until a smooth dough forms.

Roll the dough into a cylindrical shape.
06 -
Lightly grease a large microwave-safe mug with butter and place the cinnamon roll inside.
07 -
Microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, or just until set. Remove from the mug and transfer to a plate.
08 -
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract. Beat until well-mixed and fluffy.

Add powdered sugar and continue beating until completely incorporated and the frosting is smooth and creamy.
10 -
Pipe or spread the frosting over the warm cinnamon roll.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Have all ingredients at room temperature before mixing for proper dough rising and a fluffy texture.
02 -
Monitor the cinnamon roll closely while microwaving to prevent overcooking.
03 -
Adjust milk quantity as needed - if dough is too wet, add more flour; if too dry, add small amounts of additional milk.
