To make it even easier for you here is a step by step guide to chocolate cake heaven. I accept I am not in the league of pudding king James Martin but what do you expect in just 5 minutes?

TOP TIPS
– Try serving with tinned fruit and ice cream to make it special.
– For a chocolate minty flavour add peppermint essence instead of vanilla.

so choose your mug wisely.
OMG I am so having a chocolate craving right now, but 1am is not the time for shopping:/:-
Martin I love it!! I definitely am craving one of these now, will be making one tomorrow. You’ve made it look extremely sophisticated hahah x
I made one a while back, a little rubbery but not bad for 5 minutes in the microwave! x
Martin, i like how you take time off from being a student to make a beautiful cake like this. However, I’m going to challenge you with a piece of carrot cake.
It does look good, got to be said!! But I’m that hopeless in the kitchen you might have to show me how its done Martin!
I could do with one of these now please!
