Chocolate Mug Cake

Here is my next Valentine's recipe for 2, perfect for a quiet night alone when it's been a long day.

I'm sure there are purists out there who would turn their nose up at the thought of microwave cookery - particularly for making cake, and in a mug of all places!

I love mug cakes for many reasons: 1. I love cake, 2. Very little clean-up, 3. I'm lazy and 4. I don't have to wait so long for cake!


CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
Into each mug add:
- 3 tbsp self-raising flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cocoa
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp black coffee

Mix together really well with a fork until all the flour lumps are gone.
Microwave on high for 90 seconds.
Every microwave is different so you may need to keep cooking in 15 second bursts.
It is done when the top is set.
Best served with a dollop of Nutella on top!
(And even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!)
