5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

This has been circulating e-mails. Thanks to Michelle from Tempe for sending it in to Culinary Confessions
It is called “The Most dangerous cake in the world” because you are only 5 minutes away from it.  ( Actually it takes a bit more time to be honest.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour (not self-rising)
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips, optional
  • small splash of vanilla extract
  • 1 large coffee mug

Preparation

  1. Add dry ingredients to mug and blend well.
  2. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
  3. Add milk and oil and blend well.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and blend again.
  5. Add chocolate chips and mix in.
  6. Put mug in the center of your microwave.
  7. Microwave on high for 3 minutes (1000 watt oven).
  8. Cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed.
  9. Allow to cool a little and tip out onto a plate, if desired.
  10. Eat!

Notes

This can serve two if you’re feeling virtuous.
