Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Put into a bowl: 100 g butter, 100 g dark chocolate (in small pieces) and 40 g liquid cream.

Melt for 2 minutes in the microwave on medium power.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Mix well.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Add 2 Eggs and mix again.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Add 60 g caster sugar and 60 g flour...

Stage 5 - 1 min.

... and mix once more.

Stage 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.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Divide the mixture evenly between the mugs.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Cook one mug at a time (this is important) for 1 minute 30 seconds each at 850 Watts.

Stage 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.

Keeping: A few hours.
