Name: Instant Mug Cake ‘Ma Lai Gao’
Yield: 1 to 2 Servings *I used 380ml mug
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar *1 tablespoon is 15ml; 1 small pinch Salt; 1 tablespoon Oil *I used Sunflower Oil; 1/2 tablespoon Condensed Milk; 1 Egg; 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 4 tablespoons Self-Raising Flour; *Note: 1 pinch Bi-carb Soda makes the flavour authentic, but it makes the batter rise even more, so be careful

I made this Mug Cake based on my ‘Instant Mug Cake’ recipe, which is perfect for my 380ml mug. However, this cake’s batter rises a lot and every time it overflows a little bit. So, I recommend to use a larger mug OR place a plate underneath the mug when you cook it in the microwave, just in case. Otherwise, the cake is delicious and it can be made in 5 minutes.
