5 Minute Cake in a Mug (Microwave)

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

flavouring (pick one of the following to flavour)

• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tbsp Nutella (chocolate spread)
• 1/2 oz strong coffee

Method

Pick a good-sized microwave safe mug to make this cake. 

Mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder, sugar and salt in the mug.

Add the milk and oil to the dry mix and whisk until smooth.

Add one of the flavourings if desired.

If adding the coffee, add the coffee to the mug and stir into the mixture.

Else simply drop the peanut butter, or Nutella on top of the mix and give it a light swirl - just enough to submerge, but not enough to mix it in.

Place the mug in the centre of the microwave and cook on HIGH for about 1 minute and 15 seconds (75 seconds).

Eat straight out of the cup with a spoon, or serve on a small plate with some ice cream.

Hints

Place the mug on a paper tower when cooking in the microwave just incase the mug overflows.

Not all microwaves are the same, so you may find yours will to take between 70 - 80 seconds.
