Melt-in-the-middle 4-minute mug cake
The days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder, and we are getting hungry earlier!
Cooking time:
Prep: 3 mins
Cook: 45 seconds
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 medium egg
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 3 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- Dash of vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp boiling water
- 1 soft chocolate truffle of your choice (we used Lindt Lindor)
- Ice cream or cream, to serve (optional)
Method:
- Using a fork, whisk all the ingredients, aside from the chocolate truffle, with a pinch of salt in a large mug (ours was 350ml).
- Push the chocolate into the centre of the batter, and microwave the cake on high for 45 secs until cooked on the outside with a liquid molten centre. Serve hot with ice cream or cream, if you like.
