Cookies and Cream in a Mug Cake

Okay, so today I felt like I needed something sweet. So I had a little search and found this. It can be done in about 20 minutes and really is delicious. Best of all, it uses ingredients that every household probably has. It's simple, easy, and drop dead gorgeous. I needed a quick recipe, as I'm going away next week, so won't be able to update this blog. Not that anyone looks at it, or will ever read this... Anyway, hoped you've somewhat liked my efforts so far. Happy Easter everyone!

Ingredients (Serves 1-2);

• 5 and 1/2 tbsp Plain Flour
• 4 tbsp Caster Sugar
• 1/8 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp milk
• 3 tbsp oil
• 2 Oreos (I used chocolate ones)

For the Topping;

• 250ml Heavy Whipped Cream
• 2 and 1/2 tbsp Caster Sugar
• 3 Oreos, finely Crushed

Put all the ingredients apart from the Oreos in a jug

And mix until smooth, (use a metal spoon)

Lightly crush up the oreos and put into the batter, and crush with the spoon

It should look something like this

Pour the mixture into a large Microwaveable mug, and then cook in the microwave for about 1 and 1/2 minutes on a High Power. Check it's done, but mine was after the 1 1/2 mins

It will probably rise above the mug, but as it cools it will sink

Next make the Frosting Topping while it is cooling. Pour the cream and sugar into another jug

On a high power, use and electric whisk to mix together the sugar and cream until it forms stiff peaks

Put the oreos in a disposable bag and bash with a rolling pin until the pieces are very fine. Alternatively, use a food processor. 

Mix in with the cream and sugar gently

Put the topping on the top of the cakes and Enjoy!!
