Chocolate Cake in a Mug

I didn't have anything sweet in my cupboard last night...so...I thought I would try this quick recipe. I have to admit that it hit the spot. I could only eat half because it was so rich and I didn't have any ice cream to eat with it. Enjoy


3 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

1 Coffee Mug
4 tablespoons flour(that's plain flour, not self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla

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!)

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!

p.s. It was pretty good for a microwave cake...but beware...it is very chocolaty. I bought some peanut butter chips today to try in it instead. I thought the peanut butter flavor might counter all the chocolate.
