Need chocolate?

Tonight after supper Jake asked for dessert. I remembered a recipe that my sister in law Karen raved about, and quick whipped it up for him.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
> >> 4 tablespoons flour
> >> 4 tablespoons sugar
> >> 2 tablespoons cocoa
> >> 1 egg
> >> 3 tablespoons milk
> >> 3 tablespoons oil
> >> 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
> >> A small splash of vanilla extract
> >> 1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

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 extract, 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 feel slightly more virtuous).

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!

Result? AMAZING. In fact I made two for us, and then made one to take to the neighbors. It was so good and so simple.

I'm so sorry. This is the type of recipe you might not want to have on hand...

This first one I made in an oversized mug:



Next I made one in a regular mug and flipped it onto a dessert plate. With a blop of whipped cream, it's company ready...
