Virtual Games and Cake - After the AGM (~21:30), Fri 05/03 - HackSoc Discord (The Pod)

Join us in adapting our age-old Boardgames and Cake to a virtual setting in our Discord server, where we check in with each other and play games including Jackbox and Uno!

Unfortunately, we can’t bring and share cake, but we can make our own and post them on Slack.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons soft butter

1 medium egg

1 tablespoon semi-skimmed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons light brown sugar

4 tablespoons self-raising flour

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

pinch of salt

3 tablespoons fresh blueberries (you can use raspberries if you’d prefer, or even some pear and chocolate!)

1/2 teaspoon demerara sugar

Method

Place the butter in a 350ml mug and microwave for 10-20 seconds until melted.

Add the egg, milk and vanilla to the mug and beat with a fork until thoroughly combined.

Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt and beat again until smooth. Fold through half the blueberries and then top with the remainder.

Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes 20 seconds @ 600W, 2 minutes @ 800W or 1 minute 40 seconds @ 1000W.

Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and serve while it is still a little warm.
