Because I've received this recipe in a couple of different e-mails, I'm guessing it's okay to post here. I just tried it, and it ain't bad. In fact, it's pretty dang good. My own preferences are to use King Arthur Flour, Ghiradelli cocoa, and Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips. The texture isn't the same as a regular batter cake, but it's close enough.
I'm guessing a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on the hot chocolate cake would be amazing, but I don't have either one. Eat it hot. I'm positive it's better that way.
I used an oversized mug (a soup mug) to make it but I'm not sure if it makes any difference. The chocolate chips kind of sank to the bottom but that's okay since it becomes the top of the cake when you turn it out and it was kind of like icing.
Okay, enough speculating. Just make it.
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 (Microwave Safe)
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).
Now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
