This recipe means you can make a [[ginger]] sponge-cake, from scratch in 5 minutes. It was recommend to me by Annabelle and Jackie, (in)famous by Xerox association.

This recipe begs to join [[beer-can chicken]] in it's own category, Wacky recipes!

''It really works!''

5/5 

I thought this was some kind of trick, but it really works.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 4 tablespoons [[Self-raising flour|self-raising flour]]
| 4 tablespoons [[Sugar|sugar]]
| 1 large [[Egg|egg]], beaten
| 3 tablespoons [[Milk|milk]]
| 3 tablespoons [[Oil|oil]] ([[Canola|canola]])
| A small splash of [[Vanilla extract|vanilla extract]]
| A small splash of [[ginger]] extract or 1/2 a teaspoon [[ginger]] powder
| 1 large [[Coffee|coffee]] mug
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Add all of the dry ingredients and mix well, you can do this in the mug, though it's probably easier to mix in a bowl
| Add the beaten [[Egg|egg]], [[Milk|milk]] and [[Oil|oil]] and mix well
| Add the [[ginger]] and [[vanilla extract]] and mix well
| Pour into a mug and [[Microwave|microwave]] for 3 minutes on full power (1000 watt microwave)
| Allow to cool a little - microwaved food can get '''dangerously''' hot!
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Eat directly from the mug with a spoon or tip it out on to a plate if you're posh!

===Chef's note===
This was delicious, if not a little too sweet for my taste. I would try with a little less sugar next time.

Using a bowl rather than a mug, makes the clean-up process a little easier even if the overall effect is not quite as dramatic!
