Chocolate Mug Cake - gluten, dairy, soya, nut and egg free!

This utterly brilliant recipe came from our Facebook group, so I can't take the credit! It is absolutely perfect for visiting friends, relatives or events where your child will not want to miss out, all the location requires is a microwave and a mug! Even most village halls have both these days, so I could have used this for countless parties and events when my children were small.

We tested it yesterday - huge success!

The ingredients below are sufficient for approx ten small bags of cake mix. My digital scales are not great for weighing to exactly the right total in grams, 60g is actually very difficult to achieve! it didn't seem to matter.

Dry Ingredients

• 285g gluten free SELF RAISING flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 255g caster sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder

Method

• Weigh out the above in a bowl, then mix WELL.
• Transfer to a freezer food bag, clip tight and shake together further.
• Weigh out portion of 60g into separate smaller bags and tie closed. 

Tip : sit each small bag in a mug, zero the scales and start weighing so tie bag doesn't collapse as you pour!!

You now have ten portable cake mixture bags - for a fraction of the cost of supermarket alternatives!

To bake

• Melt 1 tbsp "Pure" or other safe margarine
• and 2 tbsp water
• Mix well in a mug
• Microwave for around a minute - my 1000w microwave needed only 50 seconds.

Tip add chocolate chips for a decadent touch!
