Lucy Isaacv

It's a great recipe for a winter evening and it tastes amazing I would advise you to put cream on the side to calm down the richness but other than that it is so yummy.

Bex

Turned out to be a disaster, came out rubbery and was in for under 90secs (maybe over cooked but not sure), tasted rubbish too. The mixture tasted very good though. Too much egg I think, I could smell it from the microwave when cooking.

Emma S

Loved this! Super tasty and easy to make. Would recommend having it with ice cream. Also mixing it too much gives it a bit of a rubbery texture. But amazing other than that!

Tayla

Method

Sift flour, cocoa powder and salt into a small bowl. Stir in sugar.

Place butter in a small heatproof jug and microwave until just melted. Add milk, egg and vanilla and whisk with a fork until combined.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Spoon into a mug (at least 300ml capacity). Sprinkle with chocolate chips, if using.

Microwave on high for 70-90 seconds, or until cake has risen and the top is just set. Do no overcook.

Dust with extra cocoa powder and serve immediately.
