If you’re anything like me, then colder weather means craving for comfort food (read: pudding) but little motivation to faff about in the kitchen.  So here’s a quick and easy recipe to deliver delicious pudding in less than 5 mins with minimal washing up, that is also relatively waistline-friendly.  Doesn’t look too flash (it is a pudding in a mug after all) but I guarantee it will be tasty.

Self saucing choc mug cake

Ingredients

  • 3 tbs plain flour (I often use half and half coconut flour)
  • 2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbs rice malt syrup
  • 2 tbs low fat yoghurt
  • 2 tbs milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 squares good quality dark eating chocolate

Method

  1. Place all ingredients except the chocolate squares into a small mixing bowl and combine thoroughly.  I find beating with a fork works best to break up any lumps.
  2. Pour batter into a mug and push the squares of chocolate into the mixture.  Microwave in 30s bursts until the cake has risen and cooked but is still gooey in the middle.
  3. Dust with icing sugar or top with cream/fruit to serve or simply enjoy as is.
