Chocolate Cake In A Mug! :)

I just realized that today is Monday. FHE!!!

Sooooo. Mad dash to get a lesson ready and a quick and easy treat! Thought I would share this super fast, easy, yummy, treat!

Chocolate Cake in a Mug

Supplies

Ingredients:

· Mug

· 4 tablespoons flour - make sure you measure it right!

· 4 tablespoons sugar

· 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

· 2 tablespoons whisked egg – (1 egg is too much, 1 egg white is too eggy, 1 yolk is too dense, but 2 tbsp. is just right!)

· 3 tablespoons milk

· 3 tablespoons oil

· 3 tablespoons chocolate chips

· splash vanilla or other flavoring - try peppermint or cinnamon

(For a fudgier version, omit egg!)

MIX!

Mix-your-ingredients

· Add all of the dry ingredients to the mug and mix.

· Add the egg and combine well. It gets pretty pasty at this point.

· Stir in milk and oil.

· Add chocolate chips* and splash of vanilla. Stir well.

*if you don't have chocolate chips, try a broken up candy bar - I can't stress how much this amps the awesomeness of your cake

· Microwave for 3 minutes in a 1000w oven, or 4 minutes in a 700w oven.

It will start to crown over the top of the mug. Don't panic! It will collapse once the heat stops.

5-minute-Chocolate-Cake

This cake is still good half an hour out of the oven. In fact, I think it gets better the longer it sits, but I can't speak to how it does after that, since there's never any left!

Sprinkle with powdered Sugar if desired!

ENJOY!

Eat-it
