Mug cakes

GuppyAmy · September 2010

Are the perfect cure for PMS. I was thinking I needed cake! However making a whole cake or even a dozen cupcakes was too much because I'd eventually eat it all which is just a BAD idea so I found a recipe for a chocolate mug cake, it only takes 5 minutes!

5 Minute 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

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 at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but shrinks back down after the microwave turns off.
