This is the treat my children love to make themselves after a good term at school or when they have a friend staying. One cake is big enough to share between 2 children if you can convince them of it!!!

Ingredients

4 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons butter flavour infused rice bran oil, or butter
¼ teaspoon vanilla essence or peppermint
1 tablespoon choc chips
1 large mug

Preparation method

1. Add dry ingredients to the mug, and mix well.
2. Crack an egg and add it to your mug. Be sure to mix it well to avoid any pockets of flour in the corners. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the vanilla essence.
3. Pop your mug into the microwave & zap for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000watt). Wait until the cake stops rising, and sets in the mug.
4. If necessary, run a knife around the sides of the mug, and tip the still warm cake out of the mug and onto a saucer.

    Tweak: Blucat Altered ingredient amounts:

    Used self raising flour instead of plain. 3 tablespoons of sugar + any sweet sauce topping. Buttermilk can be substituted for milk to get a fluffier texture

    Review: Blucat

    For the amount of time and effort required this is 5 star. I used self-raising flour instead, 3 table spoons of sugar. I topped with chocolate sauce and marshmallows to add extra sweetness, because the original recipe is not sweet enough. As I had to use up some buttermilk, this worked as a nice substitute for normal milk. I got a fluffy easy-peasy single serve of choc cake as a result that satisfied my sweet craving. And yes, this does not fit in a standard mug. Use a soup mug or small microwave safe dish! It required a bit of scrubbing to hand wash the cooked remains on my pyrex bowl.

    Review: France

    What a quick and fun recipe! Really nice. I've seen many "microwave cake recipes" but never dared try one. I'm glad I did. I served it still warm with ice cream, everyone was happy.
