This mouthwatering mug cake uses fresh,
healthy strawberries to create a scrumptious dessert quickly and easily.
It is sure to make your mouth water!
Ingredients for the cake:
1 tbsp of soft butter
1 large egg
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract (use a whole teaspoon if you are a big
vanilla fan)
2 tbsp of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon pdr
2 to 3 tbsp of diced strawberries, either halved or quartered
Ingredients for buttercream glaze:
1 tbsp of melted butter
1/4 cup of pdr sugar
1/4 tsp of vanilla extract (or 1/2 tsp if you are a big
vanilla fan)
1-2 tbsp of cream
Instructions:
Prepare the buttercream by combining all the ingredients (with the
exception of the cream) in a small bowl.
Whisk thoroughly, while adding the cream until you achieve the desired
consistency. Set the glaze aside.
Gently spray a large mug with cooking spray.
Combine all ingredients
except the strawberries and whisk together until smooth (you may find it
easier to do this in a bowl, and add to the batter to the mug
afterwards).
Gently fold the strawberries into the mixture.
Microwave on a medium heat for 75 seconds.
Check if cooked. Microwave
for another 10-15 seconds if it needs longer.
Be aware that the cake
will double in height so you need to ensure you have plenty of room in
the mug.
Add the glaze to the mug so it permeates the mixture.
Either eat
directly from the mug or remove onto a small plate.
