Afternoon Tea Mug Cake

Warm vanilla sponge, strawberry jam and a generous amount of clotted cream… all your favourite afternoon tea flavours, with just 80 seconds in the microwave! It may look a little pale, but I promise the flavour makes up for it. Think freshly baked scones with jam and cream, in one super easy little treat. A little afternoon indulgence, ready in minutes. Perfect with a cup of tea!
