This has to be the fastest cake ever.. not to mention the easiest..
It is a recipe that my little son loves making all by himself.
Ingredients
- Self raising flour - 4 tbsp
- Caster sugar - 4 tbsp
- Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp
- Egg beaten - 1 medium to large
- Sunflower oil - 3 tbsp
- Vanilla essence - 2-3 drops
- Chocolate chips ( optional) - 2 tbsp
Method
Step 1
Get the largest coffee mug that that you own.
Step 2
Mix the flour, sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl . Now add in the beaten egg.
Step 3
Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix till smooth.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into the mug.
Step 5
If you are feeling like a lot of chocolate, please add in those chocolate chips now.. specially if the little chef is around.
Step 6
Heat the mug in the microwave on high for 4-5 minutes ( in a 700W microwave. Those with higher wattage microwaves, please adjust the time / power accordingly.. otherwise it will burn! )
Step 7
Keep looking at it through the glass.. It wonderful to see the cake rising and the little one hopping . Its incredible how fast the cake rises.
Step 8
Once it has stopped rising, check that it is firm to touch.
Step 9
Then a couple of minutes is all it takes to cool.. Hope you can wait that long..
Step 10
If you can't , eat away straight from the mug. I tipped it over .
Note: The recipe can be split into 2 mugs if you dont have a really big mug.. and try not to top up the mug with the batter. Half full does it!
Happy baking!
