5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Here is the first Recipe for the Blog!


5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

4 Tablespoons flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1/8 teaspoon baking powder (optional) This is optional as I think it makes the cake more light and fluffy.

1 egg, beaten
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil, OR 2 Tablespoons melted butter and 1 Tablespoon oil
3 Tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A Tiny Splash vanilla extract
1 large Coffee Mug, a V-shaped one is best rather than straight-sided

Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well
Add the beaten egg and mix thoroughly
Pour in the milk, oil and mix well
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again
Place mug in 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 be virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?

Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from homemade chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
