I just received this recipe from a wonderful friend and simply had to share it.
I have not yet tried it but I can certainly see it in my very near future.
It’s a personal chocolate cake made in a large mug. What a fabulous idea!
Here are the instructions that came with this email:
- 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 ove 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)
This could possibly be the most dangerous cake recipe in the world! Why? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
Many thanks to my good friend for sending this to me!
