The 5 Minute Mug Cake

This is a must for students (or if you're just peckish and need something NOW!) It's not as good as the real thing but it comes awful close. All you need is a largish mug and a tablespoon.

Ingredients:

4 tbs Self-raising Flour
4 tbs Caster Sugar
1 Egg
3 tbs Milk
3 tbs Oil
1/2 tbs Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt

(For the chocolate version add 2 tbs Cocoa Powder and 3 tbs Chocolate chips)

Method:

1. Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

2. Add the milk and oil mixing well.

3. Add any other ingredients and stir until fully combined.

4. Place the mug in the microwave (maybe on a small plate just incase!) and cook of a high heat for 3 minutes.

5. Watch your cake grow! Don't be too alarmed if it goes over the top! Once it's cooked allow to cool a bit before tipping the cake out on to a plate.

6. Enjoy cold or warm with some ice-cream!

Please comment with pictures if you try making it, they tend to make rather ugly (yummy) cakes but there's something lovely and rustic about that! Have fun with this recipe, it is a lot like a school science experiement!
