Recipe: Cake in a mug

I know - everyone knows this one!  It was scrummy so here it is again.

I have wee pullets eggs at the moment and it seemed to me that they would be perfect.  I needed cake.  Yes, I did, definitely NEEDED cake.

I did it the classic all in one.
First of all I weighed the egg (in its shell) and it came to 44g.
I weighed out 44g of SR flour, sugar and spread into a bowl.  I popped them in the microwave for a short time to soften the spread, then I beat them together with a fork.  Then I added the egg and mixed it well, finishing it off with a few drops of vanilla.
It went into one of my mugs and into the microwave.  3 mins at 600.

Just what was needed!  Five minutes from start to finish.

  3. I ate the lot, Tracey - it's scrummy!
    The time depends on the size. A normal sized egg was supposed to be 4 minutes so I thought three for a mini egg. Do the skewer test to check!

    Yes, Diane - last night was definitely one of those times! :-)
