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!

There was some 'to do' over him as he apparently said something along the lines of 'people are just too fat, they need to get up off the couch and do something'.

Yeesh. Tis the truth. Get over it. ;)

Yes! And it's after midnight here so I am now officially 39. Only one year left before life begins, so they say. I'd best make the most of it. *g*

*twirls with you*

Many, many happy returns of the day, bay-bee!
*hugs you hard*

I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day.

Thank you! *smooches and smishes*

I plan to have a wonderful day. I took the whole week off work to make sure of it. *g*

There will be chili, and icecream and pancakes, with frozen cherries and raspberries, and whisky and wonderful fic. :D

Wheeeeeee!
Sounds awesome, bay-bee.

And wtf, skinny comments? I thought the collapse/expand thing was supposed to fix that?

I know! *pokes lj* Funking up my journal!

I've had two posts with conversations like these and they both got all skinny and fucked up. I hate!

Did we accidentally turn something off or something?

I honestly don't know. I haven't had a convo this long on lj for aaaaaaaages. That'll teach me not to lurk about in dark corners and not comment or post. *g*

It's probably down to specific layout settings that don't have a tweak available on the Modify Layout page.

Bah.

[tabaqui]

Heeeeeee.
*poke*

Double Bah.
