Quick and Easy Chocolate Cake

In my boredom yesterday, I was looking through other peoples blogs and I came across a recipe for chocolate cake in a mug. I have a BAZILLION coffee mugs and really nothing to do with them all so I was excited but chocolate cake in a mug!! I decided to whip it up and it WORKED. It seriously made my day, perhaps even my week!! I made one mug with the kids in the afternoon and then I tested it out again when my hubby came home. IT worked both times. I then preceded to call people to test it on. I called my 16 year-old brother-in-law and he made the cake on the phone and I also called one of my best-less-domesticated- friend and she also made it while talking to me on the phone. Seriously fool-proof!!!! My 3 year old daughter made a mug of chocolate cake all by herself and she even can remember the ingredients. SIMPLE!!!

5 minute Microwaved Chocolate cake in a MUG

1 standard coffee mug

4 Tablespoons of flour

4 Tablespoons of sugar

2 Tablespoons of cocoa

stir

1 egg

stir

3 Tablespoons of milk

3 Tablespoons of oil

stir

3 Tablespoons of chocolate chips (optional)

splash of vanilla ( 1/4 teaspoon)

I put a paper towel under the mug (just in case)

microwave on high for 3 minutes

It will rise out of the mug but the cake didn't hit the bottom. It just goes straight up (it's amazing) Ellie calls this her growing cake!

I let it cool for 30 seconds and then I dumped it on the plate and ate it.

YUM
