5 minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Ok, so I had to try this because I didn't think it was possible to make chocolate cake in 5 minutes. But you can! Wow, a chocolate cake addict could be in trouble with this one! Try it out, it is fun. It is great warm with some vanilla ice cream.

4 Tbls. all purpose flour (not self rising)
4 Tbls. sugar
2 Tbls. baking cocoa
1 egg
3 Tbls. milk
3 Tbls. oil (I did less)
3 Tbls. chocolate chips
A splash of vanilla
1 hot cocoa mug

  • Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well.
  • Add the egg and mix well.
  • Pour in the milk and oil, mix well.
  • Add the chocolate chips and vanilla and mix again.
  • Put you mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (I cooked on high).
  • 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.
  • Serves 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous.

  2. I just put the two little ones down for a nap and made this for my lunch, heehee! The first batch I made was like eating a sponge, dry and chewy. Then I realized that I live a mile above sea level! I nuked it for 2min 15 seconds min instead of the full 3, put the whole 3 T of oil and it turned out really really goood. I think some melted caramel on it would be even better for next time. Thanks Alicia its a keeper!
