What you need:
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons self raising flour
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • chocolate chips (optional)
I was craving chocolate cake and decided to make this little gem.  I have no idea where I learnt this recipe, but is one that was clearly worth memorising.  Add it come in nice easy steps.

Firstly put all the dry ingredients in the mug you choose to make your cake in and mix well.  Add the egg and mix well making sure that there are no pockets of dry ingredients - usually flour gets missed in the bottom of the mug.  
Now add all your wet ingredients and mix well until you can no longer see any butter blobs.
Put your mug in the microwave at the highest setting for 3 minutes.  Watching the magic happen is my favourite thing to do, especially as you begin to thing "I can't eat all of that".

After the bing, you should be able to pour the cake out of the mug, if it get stuck just get a knife to the edges.  Goes well with custard or cream.
