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...

Blog Blogging away...

It's Diane's fault. I start on her blog, and then I click on one she reads, and then I might click on that blogger's list and soon I'm ten degrees of separation away from my blog and carried away...

Just now I just found Pioneer Woman. For those of you who got all excited about People Magazine's losing weight thing (yesterday's blog) BACK AWAY from the computer. Because if you connect to Pioneer Woman, you're gonna be salivating. Not only do her recipes SOUND delicious, they LOOK delicious -- she photographs every step. WHAT A WOMAN. So, if you're thin, and need to gain some weight, or if you have REALLY good willpower, click here.

I know...you're gonna blame me, aren't you?
