Last year, or maybe the year before, the playgroup victoria calendar had a recipe for cupcakes where each child made up their own mix in a margarine container.

I was wanting to do the activity with playgroup this term, but I've lost the recipe! Before I start ratio'ing down another recipe, does anyone have the recipe I'm talking about? It used an egg and milk mix and called for each ingredient to be added by spoonfuls ( eg 1 Tb flour, 2 tsp sugar, etc)

Thanks muchly!

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
