Treacle Sponge In A Mug

52%

Ingredients

Put sugar, margarine, flour and egg in a mixing bowl.

Mix until just smooth.

Put a tablespoon of syrup into 2 mugs.

Put half the mix into each mug on top of the syrup.

Microwave for about a minute. Depends on your power of your microwave. You will know it is done when the mixture rises to nearly the top of the mug.

Leave for about a minute and then with a knife loosen around the edge. Turn upside down onto a plate and shake a little. The sponge should come out.

Serve with custard or ice-cream.

To make it more moist put a teaspoon of oil in it and also some vanilla extract for flavouring, however it's a nice recipe even though it tastes maybe a bit too eggy.

Works better if you split it into 3 mugs onstead of 2.

Nice but a bit sickly

Get a bit more golden syrup in the bottom, it won't be dry then!

Just what you need when you need something quick to satisfy a pudding craving in less than a few minutes. A little dry but nothing a bit of cream couldn't fix !
