Sure to tame that sudden sweet craving, I give you my recipe for the perfect mug cake.
In case you're unaware, a mug cake is simply a cake made in a mug, cooked by a microwave. The idea is you can have a sweet treat that needn't take a lot of work or a lot of ingredients, and it's a singular serving - meaning you don't feel so bad since it's portion controlled. This recipe has been tried and tested in my uni household, been passed to many a friend and I'm yet to receive a complaint - so it's without a doubt good enough to post on here...
INGREDIENTS
The "Chocolately" One
1 Heaped Tablespoon of Salted Butter or Marg
1 Level Tablespoon of Cocoa Powder
2 Level Tablespoons of Sugar
2 Level Tablespoons of Self-Raising Flour
3 or 4 Tablespoons of Milk
The Cardamon One
1 Heaped Tablespoon of Salted Butter or Marg
2 Level Tablespoons of Sugar
2 Level Tablespoons of Self-Raising Flour
3 or 4 Tablespoons of Milk
1/8 of a Teaspoon of Ground Cardomom
(Optional) Dollop of Nutella
The "Plain Jane"
1 Heaped Tablespoon of Salted Butter or Marg
2 Level Tablespoons of Sugar
2 Level Tablespoons of Self-Raising Flour
3 or 4 Tablespoons of Milk
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
METHOD
Mix all the ingredients in a mug of your choice until smooth (make sure it's microwave safe).
Place in the microwave and cook at full power for 1 minute or until the cake has just set.
I often cook it for 30 seconds then do 10 second blasts until I'm satisfied.
Enjoy,
