Adam Liaw’s orange and almond mug cake

This super-simple mug cake can be made in minutes using ingredients you might already have in your fridge and pantry.

Combine all the ingredients except the ice-cream in a mug and mix to combine. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until the cake is set. Top with an extra teaspoonful of marmalade and a scoop of ice-cream.

Adam’s tip: There is a lot of variation in microwaves beyond just the wattage. If your mug cake isn’t cooked properly the first time, adjust the timing and make a note of it for the next time.
