5-minute Chocolate Cake

5-minute Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

coffee mug

4 tablespoons flour

4 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

2 tablespoons whisked egg - 1 egg is too much, 1 egg white is too eggy, 1 yolk is too dense, but 2 tablespoons is just right!

3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons oil

3 tablespoons chocolate chips

splash vanilla or other flavoring - try peppermint or cinnamon

For a fudgier version, omit egg!

Directions:

1) Add all of the dry ingredients to the mug and mix.

2) Add the egg and combine well. It gets pretty pasty at the point.

3) Stir in milk and oil.

4) Add chocolate chips* and splash of vanilla. Stir well.

5) Microwave for 3 minutes in a 1000w oven, or 4 minutes in a 700w oven.

It will start to crown over the top of the mug. Don't panic! It will collapse once the heat stops.

*if you don't have chocolate chips, try a broken up candy bar - I can't stress how much this amps the awesomeness of your cake
