I received this recipe from a friend. I haven't tried this, but it sounds easy and she assures me that it was very good.
Why is it a dangerous cake recipe you ask? Think about it.....you are now only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!.....eeeeek!
5 Minute Chocolate Cake In A Mug
4 TBSP flour
4 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP cocoa
1 egg
3 TBSP milk
3 TBSP oil (I used melted butter)
3 TBSP chocolate chips (optional..I used less)
small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MICRO wave safe!)
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. Makes 1-2 servings.
OPTION:: I smeared a bit of butter in two ramekins (they do tip out easier if you want to serve them on a plate... perhaps with a spoonful of ice cream?) and divided the mixture between the two of them. I also substituted butter for the oil. Bake in the oven at 350F (180C).. for about 20 to 25 minutes. Watch them carefully... don't want to burn chocolate! The tops will begin to crack when nearly done...and I just checked with a toothpick at about 18 minutes..... when it comes out clean...they are done. Unless you happen to put the pick into a chocolate chip or morsel...then just check in another spot... and enjoy!
