5-minute Chocolate Mug Cake
Craving cake, or just in need of a chocolate fix? Well we’ve got just the thing – a recipe for a deliciously chocolatey cake that takes just 5 minutes to make! It’s quick and easy, all you need is a large (microwave proof) mug, mixing spoon, microwave (all available Wilko!) and the ingredients listed below. Serves 1
Top tip: For a triply chocolatey treat, why not melt some white chocolate and drizzle over the top of your cake?
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp self-raising flour
- 4 tbsp caster sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp sunflower oil
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 drops of vanilla flavouring
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips (optional – for serious chocoholics!!)
- 1 egg
Method
- Put the flour, sugar and cocoa powder into your mug and mix well.
- Add the milk and sunflower oil and mix again.
- Crack the egg into your mug, make sure you don’t get any bits of shell!
- Add the chocolate chips (if using) and the vanilla flavouring.
- Give the chocolatey mixture a final mix, making sure there are no bits hiding at the bottom. Take care when doing this as your mug will be quite full!
- Put your mug into the microwave and cook the mixture for 3 minutes on high. Don’t panic if the cake starts to rise above the top of the mug – this means your cake is nearly ready!
- When the timer is finished, remove the mug from the microwave. Take care as it will be very hot.
- Leave your cake to cool slightly, then dig in!
