5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

I've made this cake many times and it is so easy and quite yummy for the amount of time it takes to make it!

1 Coffee 'large' mug
4 tablespoons plain flour (not self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla


  1. Add dry ingredients to mug, & mix well.
  2. Add egg & mix thoroughly.
  3. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
  4. Add chocolate chips (if using), van, mix again.
  5. Put mug in the microwave & cook for 2-3 min at 1000 watts.
  6. Cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! (it really did! LOL!)
  7. Allow to cool a little & tip out onto a plate if desired.
  8. EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!)
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!
