Quick cake to entertain the troops and save supplies

Whether your children are driving you mad to baeke or you just need something comforting to get you through the Corona collywobbles, this is your cake.

It's also pretty light on supplies - only one egg for two cakes and no butter needed, only oil. I ate many versions during the testing process and can assure you that a cake made from oil is superior to one made with butter. 

Try it - you can thank me once this darned virus has been banished...

Method:

• In a large mug, whisk together the egg and oil 
• with a fork. 
• Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla, and sugar. 
• Add the cocoa, flour, salt, and vinegar. 
• Whisk the batter until smooth and divide between two smaller mugs. Do not fill more than halfway.
• Microwave separately for 1 ½ to 2 ½ minutes each until risen and firm.
• If making the icing, whilst the cakes are cooling, beat the butter, vanilla and icing sugar until smooth, then beat in the cream cheese.
• Once the cakes are cool, cover with icing and shower with sprinkles.
