CHOCOLATE CAKE IN A MUG....
INGREDIENTS: 4tablesp. SR flour, 4 tablesp. sugar, 2 tablesp cocoa 1 egg 3 tablesp milk 3 tablesp oil
METHOD: Mix flour, sugar and cocoa in mug, add egg and mix well. Pour in milk and oil and mix very well. Microwave on full power (1,000watt) for 3 minutes.
Wait until it stops rising and sets in mug. Tip out and enjoy. It can be used as a pudding with cream or icecream. We have had fun changing the recipe to
vanilla, with marshmallows or Milo flavouring. Its such a lot of fun.
I found the mixing the hardest part, being in a mug, but then I got out out electric portable beater and used it with only one of the two beaters inserted. It
worked a treat, but HOLD ONTO THAT MUG!
We served ours for sweets with a yoghurt topping; it was enough for two.

This is awesomely simple and quick to make and tastes delicious. Would be great for introducing the grandkids to cooking.

If I had a microwave I would try that out for sure. Sounds a lot of fun for kids. Maybe you could use one of those battery powered milk capuccino frothers to
do the mixing?

and presumably - one could mix the ingredients in a bowl and. then transfer (if necessary) to a mug for cooking

Cwm has described Milo accurately. I think it is similar to, but tastier than, your Horlicks. Is that what it is called? Makes a nice nightcap. We drink it
before bed in the winter months but not usually at other times of the year.
Yes you could mix it in a bowl and then transfer it to a microwave safe mug, but if you have a stick blender or a portable beater you can take one beater off then why dirty another dish? I do hate lots of washing up. It makes enough for two very generous serves. You can eat it as cake or as a sweet topped with cream, ice cream or, as we did last night, yoghurt.

Milo is very similar to Ovaltine...and absolutely nothing like Horlicks

Thats better as I prefer ovaltine to Horlicks, of which we can't get either here, so I have to go to the English shop in Gothenburg.

I like plonk in recipes, not much gets me cooking but something with chocolate in the title can do it
 I forgot to tip it out and just went for the shovel out method into bowl and plonked cornish ice cream on top, delish. Thanks Bill
( I would have assumed an extra 20 secs Jean, and my reckoning was right)
