5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake!

[iceqtray]

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).

Thanks bunches for this recipe. I think it's something my mama might like to try, since she lives alone and loves sweets. tee hee

Yikes, do tell was it yummy? I just replied with what a good idea it might be for my mama to try.

Iceqtray, This sounds great. I think I may try this. I may cook at half power so I don't get a valcano going off. Thanks for the recipe and thanks for the warning.

This sounds great. I might try this one out with some clients at work - I'm sure they would love it

Chocolate cake in 5 minutes? Sounds amazing, I have to give this a try.

Do you think it will still rise at a lower wattage? My microwave is only 800W. Perhaps I should just try.

Thanks for this lovely receipe, Im going to try it tonight for my boyfriend. Our microwave is only 850watt so I think I will just put it in for a minute or two more, should be no harm
Cant wait to try it.

Oh yes how big are your coffee mugs? 250ml, 300ml, 500ml? Most of ours would be 250ml, really dont want to be cleaning up a microwave for the night lol

[iceqtray]

Annmarie, I use an 8oz. cup (about330ml). Put a small plate under your cup in the microwave.
Hope this helps.This cake is good with a little ice cream!

[annmarie]

Thanks for letting me know, I think there is a BIG mug somewhere lol. Thanks for the tip and mmmmmmm you read my mind on the ice cream...I will just have to stare at him eating it later, while I crunch on an apple LOL

[iceqtray]

Annmarie, I checked my cookbook and found out that 8oz =250ml.
I, too, have to crunch on apples instead of cake and ice cream! You are not alone!

[annmarie]

Oh even better no need to go searching for a bigger mug lol
Oh one more thing, is the flour plain flour or self raising flour?

[iceqtray]

I use all purpose flour.

[annmarie]

Thanks iceqtray..I still had to look that up slightly different name but its plain...cant wait to get baking...or microwaving LOL

[sharong]

sounds really yummy, something I could do with the grandchildren!

[dorie]

Mine turned out a little rubbery and we used a big big mug to make it in. Glad I waited for hubby figured it would be nice and warm and then put ice cream on it or whiped cream, we sure had a good laugh about it but I haven't tried it again so hope it works for the rest of you.

[mlsorensen]

Thank you for the recipe. I can't wait to try it.

[Angicrafter]

Sounds like something my daughter and I will have to try. It sounds super easy and yummy... my kinda recipe !

[annmarie]

I was going to make it last night after dinner, but my BF was not feeling the best and didnt eat much of my chicken and pasta dish. Will have a go at it tonight

[Roxanne]
