Yep you read it right, it is cake in a cup! I didn't ever think it was possible until I made it and saw for myself how easy it is! I've tweaked the original recipe a little so here goes my version :)
You'll need:
4 tbsp self raising flour
4 tbsp castor sugar
3 tbsp oil [any will do, I used sunflower oil]
1 medium egg
3 tbsp Nutella [here I melted a small bar one of my fave hazelnut chocolate and used it, you can use plain milk chocolate if you like]
4 tbsp milk
...and one small packet of Maltesers.
Whisk together all ingredients except the maltesers, until it is well combined. Now in 3 medium coffee mugs, pour in the batter in each cup just up to half level as the cake will rise when it is getting baked. Tip 3-4 maltesers into each cup and push it a little inside so that it is covered by the batter.
Set it in the microwave on high power for a minute but check after 30 seconds. Mine were done in less than a minute. You have to get the mug out when the cake is still moist as it will settle after it is cooled. Serve warm with strawberries/cream/icecream - or ALL :)
As you can see I haven't bothered clearing the gooey chocolate at the edges of the cup - just for the heck of it !!
Enjoy this yummilicious dessert and trust me it's so easy that you'll keep it at the top of your mind for an instant dessert :)
