Vegan 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

OK so I thought the first recipe I should share should be one that is fast, cheap and easy. This recipe was originally found by my friends on facebook so you may recognise it, though I found the quantities listed to be a bit excessive for a single dessert, it was really easy to modify and make vegan :)

Ingredients

2 level tablespoons self raising flour
1 level tablespoon coco powder
2 level tablespoon caster sugar (if you don't have ant granulated works just as well)
1 level tablespoon oil (I use olive oil but I'm sure it will work with pretty much any kind)
2 level tablespoons soya milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

You will need -

1 good sized mug
A microwave

Method -

Mix all the dry ingredients in the mug, then add the oil, soya milk and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir, it should be a decent consistency but if you find its too watery you can always add more flour until you're happy with it.

Put the mug in the microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes depending on the wattage of the microwave. It may well spill over the mug so it's a good idea to set it on a plate. The good thing with this is if it's not thoroughly cooked you just end up with a nice gooey middle.

Allow it to cool for a few minutes then transfer to a bowl. I like to top mine with golden syrup and desicated coconut but you could have it with soya cream or non dairy ice cream or just on it's own.

Enjoy :)
