This is clearly the best thing ever. Cake. In a mug. What’s not to love!? It takes about 2 minutes to make, and is a great last-minute pudding. Or, if you’re like me, you can have it for breakfast (I definitely did not eat this for breakfast [I definitely did]).

Serves: one person.

Cost per person: £0.35 (price based on Tesco Value ingredients).

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp self-raising flour
  • 2 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 1/2 tbsp milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1) Mix together the flour, sugar and cocoa powder in a mug.

6) Serve with ice cream, and definitely do not share.
