Vegan Microwave Sponge Pudding in a Mug
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Self Raising Flour
- 4 tsp Caster Sugar
- 1/3 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 1/4 tbsp Water
- 4 tsp Sunflower Oil
- 1/2 tbsp Golden Syrup
Directions
Sometimes you just need a cake in a few minutes. This is the recipe for the time. I grew up eating microwave sponge pudding as pudding after Sunday Lunch so it is really nostalgic for me. I have not eaten one in so long since I do not eat eggs or dairy anymore so I set about making a vegan version. This vegan microwave sponge pudding tastes just like my childhood.
I use golden syrup in my sponge pudding but I also remember having it with jam which you could try too. Just replace the 1/2 tsp with the same amount of golden syrup on top of the mix just before microwaving. You could maybe even try chocolate spread or hazelnut spread but this is not something I have tried before. Leave a comment if you do try that and let me know how it goes!
I have used teaspoons and tablespoons to measure the ingredients for this vegan microwave sponge pudding because it’s really want to be a last minute recipe for when you just need a sweet treat fast. It saves on getting out the weighing scales and then cleaning the and putting them away after. Make sure you take note that some ingredients are measures in tsp (teaspoons) and others are in tbsp (tablespoons). You do not want to get the measurements wrong!
It might not be the prettiest dessert you’ve ever seen but this classic really hits the spot and it is really quick and easy to make.
Mix the dry ingredients together in a large mug. Add in the water and sunflower oil and mix until smooth.
Add the golden syrup on top of the mix. It will sink through the cake while it's in the microwave.
Cover the mug with cling film and microwave on full power for 3 minutes. Remove from the microwave and let it stand for 1 minute. I like to serve with custard.
