These magic sponges cook in the microwave in just 30 seconds and the finished pudding will be on the table in just 10 minutes!

Ingredients 3 level tbsp coco powder 3 level tbsp sweetener granules plus 2 level tsp for the sauce 1 level tsp cornflower 65g low-fat cornflour 65g self-raising flour 2 eggs Low-calorie cooking spray

Method To make the sauce, put 1 level tbsp cocoa, 2 level tsp sweetener and 85ml water in a saucepan over a medium heat and stir well. Once it’s bubbling, mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp water and add to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until thickened and glossy, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, cream the remaining sweetener with the spread and mix in the sieved flour, eggs and remaining cocoa.

Spray 4 mugs with low-calorie cooking spray and pour in the batter. Cover each mug with cling film, pierce with a fork and cook them one by one in the microwave for 30 seconds on high. Check they’re spongy by touching the surface with your finger – they might need another 10 seconds. Leave to rest for 1 minute.

Turn the puddings out on to plates and pour over the sauce to serve.

Christmas Trail at Draycote Draycote Water

Kites Hardwick, Warwickshire, CV23 8AB

Some naughty elves have stolen one of Santa’s reindeers and are hiding at Draycote Water!

Santa needs your help to save Christmas by working out which reindeer is missing. Collect our activity sheet and use it to find the elves on the Christmas trail and unscramble the letters they are holding to spell out the name of the missing reindeer.

The Christmas trail runs 10am to 3pm daily until the 23rd but will finish at 2pm on Christmas Eve to allow the elves and the reindeer time to get back to Santa.
