Five Minute Chocolate Cake

This is an interesting little cake. Sure, you might be able to bake a better cake with other means, but for a few minutes and few ingredients this one is fun.
Author: Christopher Kosovich

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 tbsp whisked egg - 1 egg is too much 1 egg white is too eggy, 1 yolk is too dense, but 2 tblsp is just right!
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips
  • splash vanilla or other flavoring - try peppermint or cinnamon
  • Optional: For a fudgier version omit egg

Instructions

  • Add all of the dry ingredients to the mug and mix.
  • Add the egg and combine well. It gets pretty pasty at the point.
  • Stir in milk and oil.
  • Add chocolate chips* and splash of vanilla. Stir well.
  • 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.
  • Note: Cooking time may vary depending on the power of the microwave oven.
