Microwave Mug Cakes Recipe
I was listening to the radio with my dad when I heard about this. I didn’t think it would be very good but it just great! It only takes about 5 mins and there is only the cup to wash up. Mix in it, cook in it and eat out of it!
Ingredients
4 table spoons of self raising (SR) flour
4 table spoons of caster sugar
2 table spoons of coco powder
1 medium egg (free range tastes better!)
3 table spoons of milk
3 table spoons of vegetable/sunflower oil
Vanilla essence
3 table spoons of chocolate chips (optional) and/or a “magic ingredient” if you want such as orange zest, raisins or a drink such as orange juice or an alcoholic drink.
a large mug and a microwave is needed
Method
Add the flour, sugar and coco powder to the mug and mix. Use the largest mug you have to avoid it overflowing in the microwave oven
Crack the egg of the side of the mug and add to the mixture. Mix in as much as you can but do not worry if there is still dry mix left.
Add all the other ingredients apart from the chocolate chips (if you are adding) and mix until smooth and add the chocolate chips and/or your “magic ingredient” and mix
Centre your mug in the middle of the microwave oven and watch it rise for 3-5 mins.
Either eat out of mug or tip onto plate and serve with cream or ice cream. YUM
Serves: 1-2 (1 is a big portion for a single person so could be shared)
Serves: 2
Preparation time: 1 mins
