Now it comes to the cooking part, you’ll want to keep an eye on it in the microwave throughout the process to avoid a sticky mess.

Measuring spoons for the ingredients: Because you’re making the sponge in small amounts, you need to be quite precise with your measurements, or the texture of the pudding will be wrong. Experiment with flavoured dark chocolate, such as chilli or ginger, or swap in milk chocolate instead. Mix together self raising flour, cocoa, sugar and milk in a coffee mug (or other small microwave proof jug). Hi Gemma, I think you should tell them to keep microwaving it at intervals until it thickens or better still show a detailed video of your process until it thickens. Sounds delicious - my mum used to make a pudding with jam on top but I don't have the patience for steaming a pudding - so I am going to try this.If you are turning it into a bowl to serve with custard, grease the mug before you start and loosed it with a knife before turning it out. Check they’re spongy by gently testing them with your finger – if they don’t spring back, they might need another 10 seconds. Oetker Pud in a Mug Rich Chocolate is an hot, tasty sweet treat - a delicious chocolate cake mix with an indulgent chocolate sauce, which is ready in less than 2 minutes. The reason for using just two tablespoons of beaten egg is that if you use the whole egg then the sponge has too much of an “eggy” taste, rather than being light and caramel flavoured.

You’ll want to add self-raising flour, or if you only have plain flour then mix up 100 grams or a cup of flour to one teaspoon of baking powder. To make the sauce, put 1 level tbsp cocoa powder, 2 level tsp sweetener and 85ml water in a non-stick saucepan over a medium heat and stir well.You could vary the pudding and add a dollop of chocolate spread, some peanut butter or some lemon curd instead of jam.

If you're going to tip it onto a dessert plate or a bowl to serve, grease the mug first before adding ingredients and when it's ready, loosen the edges with a knife. I've pinned it and hope to try it as soon as possible 😉 Thank you for sharing this lovely dessert with the Hearth and Soul hop. I made this for dessert at a friends house, and it was okay for the most part, but for whatever reason the flavour of the vegetable oil came through very strongly in an unpleasent way.Economical and basic it may be, but a dollop of whipped cream and strawberries will make it impressively date night-worthy! But before I get too carried away, I should probably explain a little bit about it and why I’m so excited to be sharing this quick and easy sticky toffee pudding recipe. Using an electric hand whisk, beat the egg white in a clean glass bowl until it forms stiff peaks, then set aside. I never trust recipes with comments that say “this ‘looks’ like a yummy recipe” or “this ‘would’ be a perfect recipe”.
