Sometimes dubbed "The Most Dangerous Cake in the World" this recipe has made its way from email inbox to inbox, satisfying cravings for "something chocolate" in no time, with ingredients most of us have on hand.
I made this today with my grandsons, who thought it was mighty cool! And this Nonny was duly impressed as well. Makes enough for two servings, and best served warm with vanilla ice cream!
Chocolate Cake in a Mug
1 large coffee mug
4 tbls. flour (plain..not self -rising)
4 tbls. sugar
2 tbls. cocoa
1/8 t. baking powder
1/8 t. salt
1 egg
3 tbls. milk (may substitute strong coffee instead for mocha flavor)
3 tbls.oil
2 tbls. chocolate chips (optional)1
1 tbls. chopped pecans
small splash of vanilla
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 and/or nuts (if using) and vanilla, and mix again.
Put the mug in the microwave and cook for around 2 minutes (depending on the strength of your microwave, you may want to cook it for a little less or a little longer but it is best not over cooked)
Remove from mug and share 1/2 with a friend, husband, child or grandchild - if you are in a sharing frame of mind:) A dollop of vanilla ice cream makes it extra special. A squiggle of chocolate syrup on top of that, makes it decadent.
