Description

Recipe from Mug Cakes, Kyle Books. Photography © Tara Fisher. A speedy mug cake filled with mixed berries and finished with a crunchy streusel topping.

Instructions

1. Place the butter in a 350ml mug and microwave for 10–20 seconds until melted.

2. Add the egg, honey and sugar to the mug and beat with a fork until combined.

3. Add the ground almonds, cinnamon, flour and salt and beat again until smooth. Fold in half the berries and then top with the remainder.

4. To make the streusel, place all the ingredients in a small bowl and rub together with the tips of your fingers to bring together a bit like breadcrumbs.

5. Spoon the streusel topping over the cake and cook in the microwave. Microwave cooking times differ according to the wattage of your oven. If you have a 600 watt microwave, cook for 2 minutes 50 second; allow 2 minutes 30 seconds for an 800 watt oven, and or 2 minutes 10 seconds for a 1,000 watt oven. Leave to cool slightly, then serve.

6. Tip: This is just as delicious without the streusel topping, so leave it out if you are running late! Or substitute frozen mixed berries. Just defrost slightly before using.
