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.
