This is a simple, quick, cheap, low(ish) calorie cake that can be ready to eat in as little as 5 minutes. Mix in one mug - or jug - then pour into a prepared mug to bake. Easy to make with your youngster.
Place a small disc of baking parchment in the bottom of a mug, then spray the inside of the mug with One-cal Fry-lite, or similar. Assemble the ingredients in a separate mug or a jug.

| Not a great pic, I'll be the first to admit. But the cake was quick and tasty. |
4 dessertspoons self raising flour (approx. 40g)
4 dessertspoons sugar (approx. 50g)
1 heaped teaspoon cocoa powder (5g)
4 dessertspoons vegetable oil (approx. 20g)
6 dessertspoons water (60g)
Method:
Mix the dry ingredients together (I'll admit to sieving the cocoa, since it clumps easily, but the flour should be fine).
Add the oil and water and mix together first with a spoon, then a fork. Make sure you scrape up all the dry ingredients.
Pour the mixture into your prepared mug and microwave for 2 to 2 and a half minutes on full power (800W in my case). Check with a skewer to see if it is done.
Calorie count:
This works out at 525 calories - for approximately 150g of cake = 175 calories for each portion of 50g.
Note:
Children should be able to make this from start to finish - since the mug handle should remain cool, the child can place the mug in and out of the microwave quite safely.
