Tips

• Don’t over whisk the mixture otherwise it will rise over the edge of the mug.
• The mug should be around 2/3 full, any more and it may rise up and over!
• If you open the microwave door and the cake sinks immediately, it isn’t cooked through. Cook again in 10 second bursts until it just holds its rise.

For a raspberry blondie

Omit the cocoa powder and change the chocolate to white. Stir in 1/4 tsp vanilla extract with the egg. Cook as above and finish with the remaining chocolate and 1/2 tsp dried raspberry pieces.
