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. Not quite sure what could've gone wrong but if you ensure you just mix the SR flour, sugar, milk and cocoa together first (not too much though) and then carefully sprinkle the extra cocoa, brown sugar and hot water on top, it should work.

I have been making a brownie in a mug a lot - keep meaning to branch out with mug cakes but I love this brownie - but I must try this jam pudding for a kick of nostalgia. Only trying it again, I added a bit more cornstarch and it worked great, and was a thick as I hoped.Experiment with flavoured dark chocolate, such as chilli or ginger, or swap in milk chocolate instead. More people in the UK choose to attend a Slimming World group each week than any other weight loss group. I made this but instead of chocolate pudding (since I ate all of mine yesterday and don’t have any) I made butterscotch.

I never trust recipes with comments that say “this ‘looks’ like a yummy recipe” or “this ‘would’ be a perfect recipe”. Scrape the mixture into a microwave-safe mug (one that’s around 250ml is ideal – try to avoid anything wide and shallow) and cook on High in a 900W microwave for 2 minutes. I will be the first to admit it isn’t the prettiest of puddings when it’s still in the mug, but you can definitely just pour the sauce straight over it once it’s cooled and eat it directly from the mug. Remember the rule is to add 1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt for each cup of all-purpose flour.I was just wondering whether there would be a variation of some sort using plain flour and without baking powder. Some of this will melt into the mixture when you cook it but it does still help with getting the pudding out at the end if that’s what you want to do. If using s-r flour, you can add a pinch of baking powder or bicarbonate of soda for extra rise, but that's optional.

Economical and basic it may be, but a dollop of whipped cream and strawberries will make it impressively date night-worthy! If you’re making two sticky toffee pudding mug cakes then you can repeat the steps above for the second one now while the first one cools.

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.

Turn it into this gooey bread and butter pudding, flavoured and enriched with dark chocolate and orange zest. 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 mean you can try the smaller tea cup, but you might find half the pudding decorating your microwave. Yes, all microwaves are slightly different so I guess it’s just getting to know yours and how it affects the recipe.After each time in the microwave, you can take it out and jiggle the mug side to side to help it not stick too much. Using an electric hand whisk, beat the egg white in a clean glass bowl until it forms stiff peaks, then set aside.
