Chocolate Cake in a mug (microwave recipe serves 2)
4 tablespoons each of S.R. flour & sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons each of milk, oil (canola) and chocolate chips - these are optional
small splash of vanilla extract (or grand marnier, tia maria, brandy etc)
l large coffee mug, greased
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 extract and mix again - make sure you have got all the flour at the bottom of the mug mixed in.
Put your mug into the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts on high, 3-1/2 minutes for 800 watts or 2-1/2 minutes for 1250 watts. It is important to check your wattage as the cake will overcook if you don't get it right.
Don't open the microwave door immediately, allow to cool a little then tip out onto a plate and cut in half to share with someone.
It would be nice served with some cream & hot chocolate custard made in the TMX - you will need to put the custard on though before starting the cake recipe.
It is called 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
