How to Prepare:
Prep:
20 minutes
1
Mix the oil and milk in a 300ml (1/2pt) microwave-proof mug – see tip. Add the remaining ingredients except 1 tsp pecan nuts and the decoration, and beat with a fork until thoroughly combined – make sure there are no floury lumps.
2
Cook in the microwave on High power (850 watt) for about 2 minutes until risen, just set on the top and springy to the touch. Or 750w for approx. 2 minutes 15 seconds. Stand for 1 minute. (Caution, mug will be hot) Then remove from the microwave and leave to cool for about 5 minutes.
3
To decorate, spoon a large portion of vegan ice cream on top of the mug cake. Sprinkle with the remaining pecan nuts and enjoy warm, straight from the mug.
Tips
1: Check the capacity of your mugs by filling them with water and then measuring the water quantity in a jug. If you use a mug smaller in the size, the mixture will bubble out into the microwave and won't cook properly. You can use a mug that is larger in capacity but the mixture will cook lower down in the mug.
2: You can eat the muffin straight from the mug but if you want to turn it out, simply run a knife round the edge and tip upside down on to a plate to remove.
