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
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).
Mixed reviews, if you try it let me know what you think.
********Upon testing*********
Some of the reviews I read on the Internet said it was rubbery and tough. I found it to be more eggy. It really is more of a chocolate souffle than a cake. As I was making it I thought it seemed like an awful lot of egg for one tiny little serving. If you're going to try it FOR SURE watch your time. Mine was done in about two minutes or less (I have no idea what watt my microwave is...it's OLD) Ah well, it was a fun little experiment! At least the cup was easy to clean.
