Chocolate mug cake

Servings:
1 mug cake
Preparation time:
4 mins
Cooking time:
80 seconds

Easy peasy, super fast and sooooo tasty!!

Top tip: Don’t over whisk the mixture otherwise it will rise over the edge of the mug.
The mug should be around 2/3 full, any more and it may rise up and over!
If you open the microwave door and the cake sinks immediately, it isn’t cooked through. Cook again in 10 second bursts until it just holds its rise.
