Ladies and Gentlemen!

It’s my birthday at the end of the week. I’m going for dinner with friends and I thought as my birthday treat to you I’d share with you an awesome recipe I found the other day. 
MICROWAVE CUPCAKE IN A MUG! (You can substitute normal flour for gluten free flour and normal ice cream/cream for dairy free ice cream)

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of baking powder (if you aren’t using self raising flour)
• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (you can use sunflower oil as well but not olive oil because the taste is too strong)
• 3 tsp vanilla extract

To serve

• Ice cream or
• Cream or
• Whipping cream or
• Whatever you like! lol

Method:

1. Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and cinnamon (optional) together in a mug.
2. Then add the water, oil and vanilla extract.
3. Microwave for 1-2 minute at 700 watts (if you want it more moist or your microwave is more powerful reduce the time)
4. It is fully done when you insert a knife into the middle and it comes out clean.

It should look like this!

Yummy! hehe

Happy Baking!
