The sexy 5 minute chocolate mug cake
4 tablespoons flour (all-purpose)
4 tablespoons sugar (granulated)
2 tablespoons cocoa (NOT Nestle's cocoa mix, but unsweetened cocoa powder)
1 egg (large, beaten well)
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil (vegetable or sunflower)
3 tablespoons chocolate chips, optional (in my opinion, it is a must - do not leave it out)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
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 and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Pour batter into mug and place in the microwave; cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
(Not knowing what level is 1000 watts, I cooked at normal for 3½ minutes; DON'T overcook!)
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
(Mine didn't 'cause I used a super large mug)
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
(Or just dig in with a spoon and some hazelnut gelato swirled with gianduja, by Carte d'Or.)
