** Mug Cakes

[Daisy]

I know I'm not the only one on here who has a love/hate relationship with cooking and cakes - love the cakes, hate the cooking!!! But what about mug cakes made in the microwave? Has anybody tried them?

I was mesmerised by the idea of pizza in a mug!!

I have made poached eggs in a mug, never cakes or pizza though!

I've made puddings in the microwave, in a bowl. Always turned out ok.
You can put jam/golden syrup in the bowl,then your mixture on top.
You need your mixture a bit softer than if you were doing it an oven.

Nan2, we have made a microwave pudding like that, its very nice.

Nanto - I've made those too. It's a good standby when you've got a hungry mob to feed but no time for finesse!! Just add a big jug of Bird's custard. I believe they don't keep like 'proper' puds but there has never been any left to put that to the test.

Oh we love pud's like treacle and jam etc in the microwave , so easy to do and light and fluffy too ,
Bit of custard and your ready to go

Oma - make that a lot of custard and I'll be round to yours in a flash!
