5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

This cake is so easy to make. You might want to make it with your children.
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

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!
Add the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, and cocoa.
Add the egg milk and oil.
Add the chocolate chips. Yummy!
Microwave for 3 minutes.
This is how it looks in the mug. I used a large mug so it didn't rise over the top.
This is how it looks. So yummy and ready for Christmas dinner or any happy occasion.

Poor Maggie


Friday was an ordeal for Maggie & me. Dad was giving the girls their favorite treat and Maggie jumped on the bed and got her foot caught between the mattress and the foot board and she cried. We found out the she couldn't walk on her foot. So
I was washing dishes and heard Maggie yelping so then I went in Jerry's bedroom then I felt sick. Mom thought I was going to throw up and told me to go the bathroom and sit on the edge of the bathtub by the toilet and my mom went to go and get a washcloth to put on my forehead and while she was gone she heard a thump and found out that I had fainted and fallen into the bathtub. Sometimes I get these fainting spells over a traumatic event. Mom called dad to lift me up out of the bathtub. I came to then was very white. Mom took Maggie to the doctor and she has a very sprained foot and thank goodness it wasn't broken. The picture shows Maggie and me resting after our ordeal.
