About the Mug Cake
Good things don't always come to those who wait...

This quick mug cake recipe can be filled and topped with your favourite chocolate and is sure to be gooey, rich and ready to eat in less than a couple of minutes.
Why not smoother in Biscoff Spread or Nutella? Or, if you're feeling extra indulgent hide a Lindt Lindor Truffle in the centre for the ultimate melt-in-the-middle mug cake centre. Yum.

Depending on your microwave the mug cake may take more or less time. The mug cake is ready when it has risen and has started to pull away from the edge of the mug.
