5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

[darkhavens]

20 minutes ago, madders sent me a recipe for 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake. Now I'm sitting here eating chocolate cake and telling you all about it, because really? It's Chocolate! Cake! In Five Minutes! What's not to love?


4 tablespoons flour (self-raising/rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional, I had none to hand so did without)
a small splash of good vanilla
1 large coffee mug (I used a pint 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 (optional) and vanilla, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high.
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).

I cheated a little and used a second mug so that I could beat the egg, milk, oil and vanilla together before adding it to the dry ingredients, but that's just because I'm lazy. *g*


In conclusion: OM NOM NOM!

You don't have tablespoons? I... cannot imagine a kitchen without tablespoons. You must rectify this immediately. It hurts my brain. I... *flails* Immediately!

Ice cream is never the wrong solution. :D

I have a little cup thingy that measures liquids in tablespoons- but then I don't have an actual tablespoon *g*

I will be going out and getting one soon- because yes, I really, really need one!!!

And now I'm picturing you measuring out baking ingredients using one of those little cups they give out with some cough medicines. HAHAHA!
