Do you wanna make a mug cake?

This. 

The best quick fix invention ever! I know it's not traditional baking, but i've had to compromise as we had to sell the cooker for a bit of extra money for when we move.

As long as you have all of the basic ingredients, and a microwave, you shall never be far away from this yummy, self-indulgent little snack.

What you'll need:

A large mug 

2tbsp - self raising flour

2tbsp- caster sugar (or granulated)

1 egg

1tbsp butter (or vegetable oil)

2-3 tbsp of milk

any filling/flavouring you fancy, such as 1tbsp cocoa powder, chocolate chips etc.

What you'll do:

Add your butter to the mug, zap in the microwave for 10 seconds to melt the butter, (you don't need to do this if using oil) add the sugar and whisk until pale and fluffy.

Add the rest of your dry ingredients and mix again until combined.

Add your egg and milk

Whisk until smooth and creamy (not what it looks like below, i know, but i hadn't finished!)

Pop in the microwave and zap for 3-4 minutes until risen and firm to the touch. stick a knife in the centre and if it comes out clean it is ready.

Put the kettle on and make tea/ coffee in your favourite mug.

When your cake is done turn out onto a plate (or if you like you can eat it straight out of the mug!)
I drizzled some chocolate icing and some pieces of toffee on mine! Yum!

Enjoy!
