It's quick, easy, and made with ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. In just a few minutes, you can enjoy a warm, fluffy cake that’s perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings."}

Instructions:

1. Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a microwave-safe mug. Microwave for about 20-30 seconds until fully melted.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the melted butter in the mug. Use a fork or small whisk to thoroughly mix these ingredients until well combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the self-raising flour into the mug. Stir the mixture with the fork or whisk until a smooth batter forms. Make sure there are no lumps of flour remaining.
4. Microwave the Cake: Microwave the mug on high for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The cake should rise and set, but timings may vary depending on your microwave’s power. Insert a toothpick into the center to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
5. Add Golden Syrup: (Optional) Drizzle 2 tablespoons of golden syrup over the top of the warm cake in the mug. The syrup will soak into the cake, making it extra moist and delicious.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your golden syrup mug cake straight from the mug or invert it onto a plate for a more formal presentation. Be cautious, as the mug and cake will be hot coming straight out of the microwave.

Tips:

- Use a large enough mug to prevent overflow and ensure the cake can rise properly.

- Ensure your butter is fully melted and cooled slightly before adding it to the mix to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.

- Don’t overcook the cake. Depending on your microwave’s power, start with 1 minute and add additional time in 10-second intervals if needed.

- Feel free to experiment with add-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for a personalized touch.

- Allow the cake to cool slightly before digging in to avoid burning your mouth on the hot syrup.
