Thread: Self Saucing Pud in a Mug - Microwaved

Time required:
5 minutes

Equipment required:
mug
tablespoon
mini whisk or fork

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cocoa
4 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
Dash of vanilla essence

Method:
1.Place all dry ingredients inside an average mug and stir.
2.Add the egg and whisk / mix well.
3.Add milk and oil gradually, stirring.
4.Add vanilla essence.
5.Cook on high in microwave for 3 minutes.
6.Eat from the mug, or run a knife around the edge to slide out onto a plate.

Variation:
Add some chocolate chips for an even more decadent cake.

Notes - put the cocoa powder in the mug first, that way it's less likely to POOF end up on the bench when you crack the egg into the mug. Keep an eye on the microwave if you have a super duper power one, the cake needs to have some yummy chocolate goo around it, not cooked into a chocolate brick.

Every time I have made this, it hasn't lasted long enough for a pic.

Also this isn't for the faint hearted - I'm a big chocolate lover and I have always needed someone else to help me finish this desert off. Yum.

Tablespoons or teaspoons Dougie? That sounds like a shil load to go into a mug!
