Are you ready to learn the easiest chocolate cake recipe in the world?
No this isn’t a joke. You are seriously only five minutes away from a soft and gooey, homemade chocolate cake. I was over-the-moon excited when my Grandma sent me this 5-minute cake recipe the morning after Christmas. Having sworn my undying love to chocolate years ago, I could hardly believe that such a recipe even existed! How in the world had it escaped me all this time?! If you only knew the long hard nights that I have spent staring into empty cupboards, wishing for just a single piece of chocolate-something to cure my angst…
Well, those nights are behind me, and they can become a thing of your past as well! This recipe is so incredibly easy- even a child could do it! Have fun, and happy baking!
Ingredients
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar (white or brown)
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)
Directions
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).
