2 minute cup cake

We love a nice cake. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to make a cake in about an advert break that you can enjoy with a nice big
dollop of ice cream or custard.

This is the 2 Minute cake recipe. This is your mission (if you choose to accept it), will be to make a cake in about an advert break that you can enjoy with a nice big dollop of ice cream or custard.

The Ingredients:

  • 2oz (60g or 025 Cup) Self-Raising Flour
  • 2oz (60g or 025 Cup) Sugar (caster is best, but whatever you have at hand)
  • 2oz (60g or 025 Cup) Butter or Margarine
  • 1 egg

In the UK, Self-Raising Flour is sold everywhere. To make it yourself, add 2tsp Baking Powder to every 150g (1 cup) of “Plain” or “All Purpose” flour.

2 Minute Mug Cake

The Process

  • Mix your dry ingredients together in a bowl, then add your butter/margarine and egg. Beat well until thoroughly mixed.
  • Next, pour your mixture into a small bowl or large mug and put it into the Microwave for 2 minutes (put a little baking paper down to catch any drips).

Make it your own

This is a “base recipe” so you can always add things to make it your own. Try adding a tablespoon of syrup or jam to the bottom of the bowl or mug before your mixture, or add chocolate chips or dried fruit to the mixture.
