5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
About this recipe: This is the treat my children love to make themselves after a good term at school or when they have a friend staying. One cake is big enough to share between 2 children if you can convince them of it!!!
Ingredients
Serves: 1
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 egg

- Add dry ingredients to the mug, and mix well.
- Crack an egg and add it to your mug. Be sure to mix it well to avoid any pockets of flour in the corners. Pour in the milk, oil and chocolate chips, and mix well. Add the vanilla extract.
- Pop your mug into the microwave & zap for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000watt). Wait until the cake stops rising, and sets in the mug.
- If necessary, run a knife around the sides of the mug, and tip the still warm cake out of the mug and onto a saucer.

really nice but i tweaked the ingredients a bit. I used a tablespoon less of flour and hot chocolate powder instead of cocoa it was delicious - 11 Dec 2011
Used different ingredients. Applesauce instead of milk, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Solves the rubbery texture and lack of flavor problem beautifully! - 03 Apr 2011
