A super quick way of getting a citrus hit, using ingredients from the cupboard. You don’t even need to use scales! If you can’t have nuts, replace the ground almonds with an extra tablespoon of flour. You could also add berries, nuts or white chocolate chips if you’re feeling fancy.

Method
Step 1
Stir the flour, ground almonds, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and baking powder together in the mug. Beat in the egg using a spoon.
Step 2
Pour in the milk, oil, vanilla extract and lemon zest, and stir to a smooth batter.
Step 3
Mix the lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of caster sugar and 1 tablespoon of boiling water. Pour over the top of the sponge.
Step 4
Place the mug in the middle of the microwave and cook on high for 1½ –2 minutes, or until it has stopped rising and is just firm to the touch.
Step 5
Spoon a dollop of creme fraiche on top of the cooked mug cake and watch as it melts into the middle of the hot sponge. Top with fresh raspberries.
Step 6
Serve immediately.
