Breville cakes

If you click through to embiggen you can probably see the recipe. I don't bother with all the creaming of the butter and sugar and gradual adding of egg and crap, I just use the all in one method:

Stick the Breville on to preheat.

Grab:
50g softened butter
50g caster sugar
50g self-raising flour
1 egg
Vanilla Extract

Stick it in an appropriate vessel, whap it till smooth, divide it up between the depressions in the Breville (you need to do this bit quite quickly so the bottoms don't burn), close the lid, leave for 3 minutes, remove from Breville, eat.

This is an easy thing to do when drunk and craving cake, as you can probably tell from the formatting of this entry. Am tempted to go make another set...

Variations: You need to use quite strongly flavoured things to make a difference to these. Ones I have tried and liked include zest of one lime, some cinnamon, and some ginger. I wouldn;t use much of anything liquid.

That bit sounds positively dangerous.

That's OK, I only get rum-addled.

*this*

Because I hate microwave mug-cakes, but I might have made these.

I could handle a bit longer, if I end up with something I want to eat at the end. I'm not sure whether I used oil or butter, but probably the former, because mostly I avoid butter (dairy intolerant, but the greater the fat percentage the less trouble it gives me :})

But like st_aurafina, I gave away my toasted sandwich maker quite some time back, not realising it was something I could still get use out of.
