Quick microwave chocolate mug cake ingredients

  • 1/3 cup of self-raising flour
  • 1 heaped tbs of good quality baking cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1½ tbs of brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbs of milk
  • 1 tbs of butter, melted
  • ½ tsp vanilla essence
  • mini marshmallows and ice cream for serving (optional)

Method

  • In a small bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Stir the brown sugar into the mix.
  • In another small bowl, whisk with a fork the egg, milk, butter and vanilla.
  • Add the milk mixture to the dry flour mixture and stir with a fork until it just comes together.
  • Spoon the cake mixture into the large mug.
  • Place the mug in the microwave and cook it on the high setting for one and a half minutes. Keep an eye on it as it may take less time, depending on your microwave power. Cook until it has risen and is set on the top surface.
  • How you want to dress it up is entirely up to you – it’s delicious toasty warm in its natural state. Alternatively, dust with a little extra cocoa, toss a few marshmallows on that warm spongy surface and top with a scoop (or two) of ice cream. Sugar craving met!
