Mug Cakes are the perfect quick cake fix. They're not quite as delicious as a properly baked cake but they're ready right when you want cake. They're still warm from the microwave and they only take a few minutes to be done.
When I say 'We' I mean Leigh and I love Mug Cakes. I got her this book from The Works for £2 and we've made a start on sampling it's delicious recipes.
First we had Almond & Berry Breakfast Mug.
We didn't have it for breakfast, we're not cake maniacs! Recipe here. It was delicious and ready in just 5 minutes. Yum!
Next we tried the Lemon & Poppy Seed Drizzle Mug Cake.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
pinch of salt
whipped cream and lemon zest to finish
Microwave the butter for 15 seconds. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Microwave for 2 minutes. Top with the whipped cream and lemon zest. Eat while still warm.
We really liked this one, it was light and lemony. I'm going to try it again with a spoon of lemon curd on top!
