Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams self-raising flour
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons jam or syrup
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter for about 15-20 seconds until just softened but not fully liquid.
Add the caster sugar to the melted butter and mix well with a fork or whisk until creamy.
Crack in the egg and whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Sift in the self-raising flour and gently fold it into the mixture. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Grease a microwave-safe pudding bowl or large mug lightly with butter or oil. Add the jam or syrup to the bottom of the bowl.
Pour the sponge batter on top of the jam or syrup, smoothing the surface with a spoon.
Place the bowl or mug in the microwave and cook on high power (800-1000 watts) for 3-4 minutes. Check after 3 minutes—if the sponge springs back when touched, it is ready. If not, cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Allow the sponge to cool for 1 minute before turning it out onto a plate or serving it directly from the bowl.
Serve warm with custard, cream, or ice cream for the ultimate comfort dessert.
