Danger!

I just got a recipe for a single-serving chocolate cake.  You make it in the microwave in a coffee mug.  It takes five minutes.

I am now perpetually five minute away from eating chocolate cake.

Yet another reason for me to be grateful I don't have a microwave. I love cake.

And you did not post this, why?

Well, I didn't want to tempt anyone who didn't want to be tempted. But here it is:

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

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.
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.
EAT ! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

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!

Spread that cakey love! Is this the one with a packet of hot chocolate mix?

Not the same one, though that sounds good! Recipe posted above.
