Individual Chocolate Cake

What?!?!
Can it be true?!?!

My world has been revolutionized! I received an email Tuesday, April 5th, from my dear friend Maureen for a chocolate cake recipe. Upon further review, I noticed that this recipe makes one serving in a coffee cup, in the microwave, and in less than 5 minutes.  Do you realize what this means! I can now have chocolate cake anytime I so choose. It also means that there are going to be more coffee cups in the dishwasher.

Although it has nothing to do with The Suburban Challenge....unless you negotiate the tendency to eat more than one serving of fresh chocolate cake....I will share with you this recipe. May it bless you life as it has enriched mine. (Insert noises of birds chirping.)


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 (MicroSafe)


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)
