5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

I found this recipe on a forum I post on and I thought I'd share:

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
Ingredients:
  • 1 Coffee Mug
  • 4 tablespoons flour(that's plain flour, not self-rising)
  • 4 tablespoons sugar (or other)
  • 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 1 egg (or substitute)
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons oil (olive, etc....olive is actually very good in cakes)
  • 3-4 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
  • Small splash of vanilla
Instructions:
  • Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
  • Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
  • Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
  • Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again.
  • Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
  • Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
  • EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!)

Other notes: And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
Kelly's review: It's good!! :woot: I think I overcooked it a tad... we have a new microwave and it's a little on the strong side, so next time I think I'd go with 2 1/2 minutes. And it's funny... when they say that it'd rise over the top of the cup, I thought it'd be a nice rounded thing like a muffin... but it was the exact shape of the cup; it reminds me of cranberry sauce when you take it out of the can. :giggle: But when you're PMS'ing and NEED chocolate in the worst way
:bag: it's a nice quick way to get your "fix."
