Step by step recipe

1	Put into a bowl: 50 g butter, 50 g dark chocolate (in small pieces) and 20 g liquid cream. Melt for 2 minutes in the microwave on medium power.
2	Mix well.
3	Add 1 egg and mix again.
4	Add 30 g caster sugar and 30 g flour...
5	... and mix once more.
6	You can add some chocolate chips if you like, but this is not essential. This mixture can be prepared in advanced, even the day before.
7	Divide the mixture evenly between the mugs.
8	Cook one mug at a time (this is important) for 1 minute 30 seconds each at 850 Watts.
9	Leave to cool for a few minutes before eating as the cake will be boiling in the centre when you take it out of the oven.

Remarks

If you would like a lighter cake, add 1/4 teaspoon baking powder to the mixture.
This is a great way to keep children amused on a rainy afternoon for a few minutes before teatime. As long as you take the mugs out of the microwave for them, there's no risk of them burning themselves.
