5 minutes

 Thursday, 5 February 2009 - You do lots in 5 minutes including cook a chocolate cake! Very yummy recipe a friend of mine shared.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE - for one
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons (or less) 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. Sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.

I cooked ours tonight in a 6cup pyrex measuring jug and it was perfect for dessert for 4 of us. Thanks Kris for sharing your recipe :-)
