Five Minute Chocolate Cake!!!!




My friends Maggie and Karen both sent me this recipe. I haven't tried it yet but I intend to do so soon. Please give it a try.

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).



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!

Thanks be to God!

    Since I avoid using the microwave, I will use this as inspiration for hot chocolate or making the chocolate frosted graham crackers...fortunately can be also accomplished super fast when in 'must-have-chocolate' mode.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Oh, I love this idea!
    I am seriously addicted to chocolate, but I try not to keep it in the house, so if ever I am really in need of a 'fix' this recipe will do the trick!
    I think I'm off right this minute to try it!
    Thanks for sharing!

    Although I haven't made this cake my friend Wanda has made it for her granddaughter Alivia. It must be good as this is the second time I have read about it through my blogger friends. Think I will give it a go tomorrow.
    Have a wonderful day.....:) Bernie
