Equipment

  • Mug
  • Microwave

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp marmalade plus extra to finish
  • 2 tbsp Nutella or other chocolate spread plus extra to finish
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 4 tbsp self-raising flour
  • Chocolate sauce, or more chocolate spread, to serve

Method

  • First measure the marmalade and chocolate spread into your mug, and pop it into the microwave for 45 seconds to soften.
  • Remove carefully as the mug may be warm, and stir in the oil, then the milk. Leave to cool for a minute or two before cracking in the egg and beating it well. Mix in the honey, or sugar if using, and then the flour, to make your batter.
  • Place the mug back in the microwave for 90 seconds on high. It will rise quite a bit, but it deflates again a little afterwards.
  • Top with an extra smudge of marmalade and chocolate spread, then return to the microwave for 30 seconds more to melt them and finish cooking the pudding.
  • Remove, and allow to stand for a minute or two before tucking in as it will be hot! I like to top mine with squeezy chocolate sauce as well, because I don’t know when enough is enough, really.

Notes

It doesn’t keep particularly brilliantly, so it’s best to eat it soon after making it.
