What do you do when you NEED a chocolate hit? Make a 3 minute cake.

You know what it's like, you've had dinner and you just really really fancy something sweet. Well this happened to me tonight and I had nothing in my cupboards, or did I?

Raw cocoa powder, ground almonds, eggs, honey - hang on a minute...I feel a microwave mug cake coming on. I had not suspected it would turn out this well though! AND it seriously took me less than 5 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp raw cocoa powder
2 tbsp ground almonds
1 egg
1 tbsp honey (or rice syrup)
1 tbsp fromage blanc/thick natural yogurt
2 tbsp milk (if you're dairy free you could swap the yogurt and milk for soya cream or coconut cream)

Mix all the ingredients in a mug (don't worry if there are a few lumps). Microwave on full power for 1min 40 secs - this keeps it nice and gooey!

The bad thing about microwave cakes is that they don't keep - so you just have to eat it all in one go. Enjoy.
