Quick Chocolate Mug Cake
It's Tuesday. Time to watch some Lost. Time to eat cake, too.
So...since Becky asked for it, I'll share my recipe for 5 minute cake in a mug. I've seen many different variations of this. My mother-in-law emailed me this recipe a long time ago. I think it was labeled as "the most dangerous recipe in the world!" Yeah, it kinda is. It isn't quite as good as a real, gooey chocolate cake but it's so stinkin' easy. I love it for a quick treat. Sean and I split one of these and, if we have any around, put a little vanilla ice cream on top.
4 T. flour
4 T. sugar
2 T. cocoa
1 egg
3 T milk
3 T oil (I think I'll try melted butter next time in place of the oil)
3 T chocolate chips (optional, but definitely a must in my book)
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 (butter) and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high. 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 or bowl if desired.
EAT!

Yay! Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely going to make this. Also...I'm super happy to hear that you're a LOST fan! We're going to start having LOST parties once the Kirkwoods arrive!
