Ingredients

2 tbsp sunflower oil, plus extra for greasing
5 tbsp self-raising flour
2 tbsp caster sugar
3 tbsp milk (you can use dairy or plant-based milk)
¼ tsp mixed spice or cinnamon
8 pineapple chunks from a tin
1 tsp icing sugar, to serve

Method

Lightly grease the inside of a microwave-proof mug with the sunflower oil.
Put the flour, sugar, remaining oil, milk and mixed spice in the mug. Mix well with a spoon then stir in the pineapple chunks.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until well risen. Leave to stand for 2 minutes.
Run a knife around the edge of the cake and place a small plate on top of the mug. Invert the cake onto the plate. Sprinkle with sifted icing sugar and serve.
