Mug Cake student recipe: Five minute chocolate cup cake

For emergency pudding cravings, sometimes only cake will do.

Luckily, this super quick recipe means cake is at hand whenever you need it, day or night.

We like to serve it old-school, covered in generous sloshes of chocolate sauce and custard, or ice-cream. Mmm.
