REVISED: Thanks for the feedback - I've made some adjustments - hope you all enjoy. This is a fluffier version of the popular coffee mug chocolate cake. When you are looking for a quick taste of chocolate - but want something lighter - this is the recipe for you! I make this as a quick snack or when you need a quick dessert - and the kids love making it themselves.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (dutch process, if available)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional)
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (optional)
Directions:
1. Use one large coffee mug.
2. Combine dry ingredients in coffee mug.
3. Add egg, milk, lemon juice, oil & vanilla to cup - mix well.
4. Add any optional ingredients, if desired.
5. Place the coffee mug in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes.
6. As it cooks, the cake will rise above the cup but shouldn't make a mess (larger cups ensure this).
7. Cool a couple of minutes and enjoy!
