Hot Cross Bun Mugcake
Ingredients
- 40g self raising flour (I used @carrs_flour)
- 40g any sugar
- 40g margarine (I used light & dairy free)
- 1 egg (vegan version below)
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 tsp all spice
- 1 tbsp sultanas
Topping
- 2 tbsp powdered icing sugar
- 1 tbsp water
Preparation
Put marg and sugar into a large mug and mix with a spoon until smooth and creamy.
Add all of the other ingredients except for the flour and mix until combined. It will look a bit curdled.
Add flour and mix until smooth and creamy.
Pop the mug in microwave on high for two minutes.
Use a knife to ease the cake out of the mug and turn it onto a plate.
Use a knife to cut the sponge in half.
Mix icing sugar and water in a clean mug until smooth and runny.
Drizzle icing over each sponge in a cross.
Eat straight away.
Tips
Make it gluten free by using gluten free flour.
For a vegan version, use 40g self raising flour, 30g any sugar, 20g dairy free marg, 1 tbsp flaxseed plus 2 tbsp cold water (mix and let thicken for 10 minutes), 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/3 tsp baking powder, 1/3 tsp all spice, 1 tbsp sultanas for the main ingredients, and the same topping. Follow the same method but enjoy straight from the mug without cutting.
