OK, if you're really feeling like you need a special lift, try this:
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE (at those "splurge" moments):
1 Coffee Mug
4 tablespoons flour(that's plain flour, not self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar (or other)
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg (or substitute)
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil (olive, etc....olive is actually very good in cakes)
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla
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, 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. Can be shared if you want.
ENJOY!
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
