Finished Mug Cake

Cake ingredients inside mug

Cake cooked inside mug

I just finished making this cake. YUM! I didn’t have any chocolate chips but I did add walnuts. It did rise over the top which made me excited, but then it fell. I think it may have been because my mug is larger than regular mugs. But it didn’t matter; it’s all good—and delicious. If you want to feel slightly more virtuous it can serve two. I wasn’t so virtuous; I ate most of it myself. I guess if someone else wants cake they can just whip them up a mug of cake. I’ve got organizing to do.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 dash salt
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk, vanilla and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) 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, (I cooled mine for 1 minute and 20 seconds)
Tip out onto a plate if desired. I did and then I sliced it.
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!

So get ready to organize with a cup of chocolate cake only five minutes away.
