Microwave Cup Cake

It was hard to decide on something that I could make in the midst of a busy day of lectures and work. I stumbled across this recipe on pinterest and thought it was perfect! It was incredibly easy, and I must say, while I was skeptical about if it would work, it turned out to be quite delicious. Once I made the cake in a separate cup, I simply plopped it into the one seen below. I got the milk jug and saucer from a local thrift shop so that once the brownie cake was eaten the duo would serve perfectly as a place for holding jewelry. A delicate and unique gift if on a budget (5 pounds).



Ingredients:
For the cake:
2 tablespoons Coco
3 tablespoons Sunflower oil
4 tablespoons Plain Gluten-Free flour
1/2 tablespoon Butter
1 egg
4 tablespoons Sugar
3 tablespoons soy/almond/rice/goats milk
2 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)

Feel free to add more butter if you want it to be a bit more moist.

Directions:
1. Grease a large mug
2. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients - coco, flour, sugar
3. Add the egg, milk oil and chocolate chips (if using) and mix
4. Pour into greased coffee mug
5. Cook in microwave on high for 3 minutes - the cake will fill, or rise above, the mug
6. Use knife to loosen edges
7. Eat plain, with ice cream or icing (recipe below)


For the icing (add more as needed):
1/2 cup icing sugar
dash of milk


Lots of love and bon appetit!
