4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips or (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract and your favourite tipple
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to your largest 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), vanilla extract and a drop or two of your favourite tipple, then mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high).
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).
Oh this actually looks really good... did you actually make it? I've been craving chocolate cake all day. :P
ReplyDeleteI didn't make the one in the photo (it was an email I received), but I have since made it... delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to make this! Maybe for a special dessert tonight after dinner.
ReplyDeleteAnd this would make a great prepack dry good travel thing! Thanks for sharing! Whats a tipple?
ReplyDeleteA tipple is some liquor. Brandy/Cognac would be perfect...
ReplyDeleteAre you using plain flour or self raising?
ReplyDeleteI used plain just incase it rose too much!
ReplyDeleteI used self-raising, and it is perfect, am eating it now with some icecream. YUM.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think I would have prefered cream with it.
and you really do need a BIG mug.
I agree a big mug is needed!
