NOTE ADDED Jan 27, 2012: Please note that this is NOT a serious cake recipe. It is a fun recipe, for a quick choc snack. It may work for you, or you may have to make adjustments, or it might not work for you. Please do not judge this little recipe as if it is a chocolate cake - as you will see from the reviews, they range from great. to awful. LOL. ORIGINAL INTRO: This recipe is doing the e-mail rounds. I do not know where it originated, but if you have kids, teenagers, or a sweet tooth yourself, it works. A chocolate cake in a mug, for one person. Do use a LARGE mug. Delicious with whipped cream, ice cream or custard, they say. It must be great to mix a choc cake in a mug, and have a hot cake within 3 minutes. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons flour (cake flour) |
4 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons cocoa powder, any kind |
1/8 teaspoon baking powder (a pinch!) |
1/8 teaspoon salt (a pinch!!) |
1 egg, beaten |
3 tablespoons milk |
3 tablespoons oil |
2 -3 drops vanilla (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, tiny pinch baking powder and tiny pinch salt. (This can also be mixed directly into a large mug).
2. Add egg and mix into dry mixture.
3. Add oil and milk and mix well.
4. Grease a tall, large mug, and pour in this mixture, scraping out with a spatula.
5. Place in microwave on High for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes.
6. (Best slightly undercooked, so be careful).
