I haven't tried this, but you can bet I am going too. I personally would use dark chocolate chips though. :drool:

This is for anyone needing a chocolate fix in a hurry.

The 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

4 Tbsp plain flour
4 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp baking cocoa
1 egg
3 Tbsp milk
3 Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp chocolate chips
a small splash of vanilla
1 coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well.

Add egg and mix thoroughly.

Pour in milk & oil and mix well

Add the chocolate chips and vanilla, mix.

Put mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes (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)

Why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now you are only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

Amateurs - way too many ingredients in that. Stir fry brownies in a frying pan for a really quick cooked chocolate experience!

Hee Hee. I sent it to my niece and she wrote back "Oh, Great Aunt Kathy, there goes my diet".

I think I love you and hate you.

Back at you. :wave:

Are you serious?

And I am thinking if you added some Caramel, or chocolate syrup on it, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream you would be in heaven.

Wow ... I could do that right now. :scratch: Yummmmmmmm.....

Shave seconds off and premix the dry ingredients in a zip lock bag. Then when you're ready just dump and mix. Could save 30-45 seconds.

OR....you could take it to work and bake it there!

Are you serious?

Yep! It started because other counselors weren't as skilled at baking when cooking with a campfire and since the kids liked it better (less char, waiting time and more gooiness) it became a staple. It's like making scrambled egss w/ brownie mix!
