Chocolate Mug Cake
(made in a mug, for those bakers in a bedsit who only have a mug, a spoon, and a microwave)
You need....
A Mug, a tablespoon, a microwave
Ingredients: -
4 Tablespoons of ordinary sugar
4 Tablespoons of self-raising flour (OR plain flour, if it’s
what you have. It just won’t rise as much)
2 Tablesp of cocoa powder (use a good brand if you can;
cheap ones don’t always taste very chocolatey)
1 egg
3 Tablesp milk
3 Tablesp mild cooking oil (not olive, preferably)
A dash of vanilla essence
(2 Tablespoons of chocolate chips, optional) (or chopped
nuts, etc.)
METHOD:-
Spoon into your Mug the first three ingredients, - the flour, sugar and cocoa: mix them
together.
Then drop in the egg and mix around as best you can. Then
the milk and oil, and vanilla: mix all together thoroughly.
You may now add chocolate chips if using, or nuts, or a dash
of cinnamon.
Place the Mug in the microwave and cook on HIGH (about
1000watts) for three minutes. (Or four minutes if wattage is lower)
Keep an eye to the micro while it cooks, stop if you smell
burning!
Turn out of the m#ug onto a plate to cool, or else eat out of teh mug with a spoon - but there is enough for two people really.

Mine billowed up out of the mug, I turned it out and it made
a quite convincing small roll-shaped cake, a little moister than a baked one.
Quite tasty but not very chocolatey, which I blame on the cheap cocoa powder. Cinnamon
would have helped, I think.
