Mug cake!

Was pointed to this by a friend's blog :

 

- put 4 tbspn plain flour, 4 tbspn sugar and 2 tbspn cocoa in a mug and mix thoroughly

 

- add 1 egg and mix thoroughly

 

- add 3 tbspn milk and 3 tbspn oil - mix again until well combined

 

- can add choc chips or a splash of vanilla

 

- microwave for 3 minutes at 1000 watts or 4 minutes at 700 watts (our microwave is 800 watts so I cooked for 3 mins 40 secs and it seemed to come out right). The cake will rise above the top of the mug - don't panic!

 

- allow to cool and turn out on a plate if you like

 

My friend suggests lots of variations - can use margarine instead of oil, but it has to be added before the egg and milk, not after : replace the cocoa with raisins for spotted dick : could add jam or dessicated coconut : coffee and walnuts...etc etc

Done
