This recipe is one of my guilty pleasures. I tend to try not to keep many biscuits or cake in the house. So if I need a treat then it forces me to go to the shops. Which means I usually don’t bother, resulting in me eating something healthier instead. But (un)fortunately I’ve discovered the wonders of the microwave mug cake. It just happens to be pretty quick and easy to throw together and uses ingredients I usually have at home. And it’s delicious! Great (I think…!)
