5 Minute Chocolate Cake in a Mug
(I have not tried this. yet. ~Denise)
4 tbsp flour
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp oil
3 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
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 extract, 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 feel slightly more virtuous). 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!
By the way I use a BIG mug that holds at least 12 oz of Tea or Coffee.

OK.? I just tried this. The chocolate chips make it *very* hot. The flavor is good but the texture is a little rubbery. Still, I'd eat if if I was looking for something quick and chocolatey. Probably better to eat warm than cold.
