Molten Chocolate Mug Cake

This Molten Chocolate Mug Cake is like a dessert that you would be served in a top restaurant. When you dig your spoon into the sponge top, you meet a molten liquid chocolate centre. So deliciously decadent. The best part? It takes just 5 minutes to make!

Start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a large mug. Add the wet ingredients and mix well until you have a smooth batter.
