Ingredients

Method

1.Whisk flour, sugar, oil,cocoa powder, spreadand egg in a 1 1/2 cup microwave-safe mug (see tips).
2.Microwave on medium heat (50 %) for 1½ minutes, or until cake is cooked when a skewer inserted at centre comes out clean. Stand for 5 minutes.
3.Serve topped with marshmallows, hazelnuts and chocolate sauce.

Ensure you use a microwave-safe mug. We used 1½-cup capacity, straight-sided mugs that were 9cm high and 8cm (top measurement) in diameter. We also used an 800-watt microwave on Medium (50%) power. Cooking times may vary. Don’t be tempted to keep cooking longer than specified, as cakes will continue to cook while standing.
