Ingredients
| 3 tbsp | self-raising flour |
| 1 tbsp | light brown sugar |
| ½ tsp | ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting |
| ½ tsp | vanilla extract |
| 1 tbsp | sunflower oil |
| 2 tbsp | milk |
| 10g | raisins |
| 5 | chocolate orange eggs (I use Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mini Eggs) |
Essential kit
You will need: a microwavable mug and a microwave.
Method
Stir the flour, brown sugar and ground cinnamon together in a medium-sized microwaveable mug.
Mix in the vanilla extract, sunflower oil and milk until smooth. Stir in the raisins and chocolate orange eggs.
Microwave on full power for approximately 90 seconds (the cooking time may differ by 10–20 seconds, depending on how powerful your microwave is). The mug cake is ready when it has risen and started to pull away from the sides.
To decorate, cut two strips of kitchen paper and lay them on top of the mug cake in a cross. Dust with ground cinnamon, then carefully lift off the strips to reveal the cross. Grab a spoon and get stuck in!
