Microwave mug cakes.

Oh. I would go and try that now if I hadn't just had my dinner.

Breakfast! (mustn't forget)

I haven't tried cakes in the microwave but I did poached eggs today.
Place boiling water in a cup, drop egg on top and cook for approx 50 sec depending on your own microwave. They were perfect.

It does say 'large'......but I guess you could halve ingredients and cook for less time? I did it in a Pyrex bowl and was fine (pint sized) because didn't think mug was big enough. Next time will do half amounts and use mug (but still whole egg)

loopy Sounds yummy, but does it really all fit in a mug? Can't wait to try it, maybe I just need to buy a bigger mug? (My biggest is about half-pint size).

Hi rubylady
This is the Good Food one....Good luck!

Microwave mug cake
4 tbsp self raising (SR) flour4 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 medium egg
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp vegetable/sunflower oil
A few drops vanilla or other essence (orange, peppermint etc)
2 tbsp chocolate chips/nuts/raisins etc (optional)
Method

Use the largest mug you have to avoid it overflowing in the microwave!
Add the flour, sugar and cocoa powder to the mug and mix.
Add the egg to the mixture. Mix in as much as you can but don't worry if there's still dry mix left.
Add all the other ingredients apart from the chocolate chips etc (if you are adding) and mix until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and/or the nuts/raisins and mix well.
Centre your mug in the middle of the microwave oven and cook on high for 4-5 mins, or until it has stopped rising and is firm to the touch. Watch it rise as it cooks!

There's that one where you stir in together, an egg the usual 2 tablespoonfuls sr flour, fat and sugar. And some cocoa. Stir and microwave for a minute or two. Grease the mug first.

But DON'T GO THERE!!!

Norty!
