Chocolate Cake in a mug...

pregolili

did anyone else try it last night?

 

I did... not bad if you are in need of a quick chocolate fix.... even better if you add ice cream!

DANGEROUS CHOCOLATE CAKE~IN~A~MUG    1 coffee mug  4 Tbsp. cake flour (plain, not self-rising)  4 Tbsp. sugar  2 Tbsp. cocoa  1 egg  3 Tbsp. milk  3 Tbsp. oil  Small splash of vanilla  3 Tbsp. chocolate chips, optional    Add dry ingredients to mug, mix well with a fork.  Add egg, mix thoroughly.  Pour in milk and oil and vanilla, mix well.  Add chips, if using.  Put mug in microwave, and cook for three minutes on 1000 watts.  Cake will rise over top of mug--do not be alarmed!  Allow to cool a little; tip onto a plate if desired.  Eat!  (This can serve two 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 five minutes away from chocolate cake  any time of the day or night!!!***  _________________________________________________________________________    'Get thee hence' to the microwave!!!  This is GREAT!!!  Got the  recipe from a friend, and tried it out immediately.  It works!  I  see multiple applications for this gem:  With kids; grandkids; 4-H  cooking classes; college dorm room when there's only a microwave;  late-night cravings; just enough for one or two servings instead of  an entire cake..........ha, ha!  My kids added some drizzles of   chocolate syrup and some Cool Whip (we didn't put in the chocolate  chips).  You could add canned frosting, too.  The batter does rise  up way over the top of the mug, but doesn't run down the side.  Fun  to watch!  Be careful not to overcook--our microwave is higher than  1000 watts, and three minutes was a touch too long--dried the cakes  out a little bit.  Anyway, give it a try!  And for added fun be sure to watch it  the whole time it's baking in the microwave!!!

My MIL just sent me the email the other day.  Haven't tried it yet.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
       1 Coffee Mug
       4 tablespoons flour(that's plain flour, not self-rising)
       4  tablespoons sugar
       2  tablespoons baking cocoa
       1  egg
       3  tablespoons milk
       3  tablespoons oil
       3  tablespoons chocolate chips  (optional)
       some nuts (optional)
       Small splash of vanilla
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, 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 share!)  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!

I agree the more chocolate chips the better... but also adding a little ice cream on top made it even better!
