Marmalade mug cake

Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp self-raising flour
  • 2½ tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 small egg
  • 2½ tbsp milk
  • 2½ tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1½ tbsp La Vieja Fábrica thin-cut marmalade, plus extra for the centre and to serve
  • ice cream, to serve

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large microwave-safe mug, mix together the flour and caster sugar.

  • Step 2

    Add the egg, milk and vegetable oil and stir until smooth and lump-free. Stir through the marmalade until evenly distributed.

  • Step 3

    For a gooey marmalade centre, spoon an extra teaspoon of marmalade into the middle and gently cover with a little batter.

  • Step 4

    Microwave on high for 1½-2 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave, until the cake has risen and is just cooked through.

  • Step 5

    Leave to stand for 1 minute. Serve with a spoonful of warmed marmalade and ice cream.
