Kitchen Experiment #2

[kittydesade]

(I normally don't post 4 times in a day, I swear. Usually it's 3.)

5 minute chocolate mug cake
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
splash of vanilla extract

Add dry ingredients into large/latte mug, mix. Add egg and mix. Add liquids and mix. Add chocolate chips (if using). Put mug in the microwave and nuke at 1000 watts for 3 minutes. Cake may rise a little over the top. Cool, eat.

Seriously, has anyone made this before? I've heard of these before and I think I've seen them around, but now I actually want to try and make this. To the point where I might have to go down to the general store and get a latte mug to do it.

*giggles* I'd try that, except, no microwave. ;)

it's ... not fantastic, but a decent substitute if you are craving chocolate and/or cake and are disinclined to leave the house. or make more than one serving worth. and it's all ingredients that i usually have around the house, at least in those quantities.

I do get chocolate cravings a fair amount, and those are ingredients that usually exist in the apartment. Hmm.

(I might also throw in dashes of other spices. Like cinnamon. Ponder.)

ooh! cinnamon would be Good with that.

Big fan of cinnamon, chocolate, and kitchen alchemy. I'll definitely have to play around with this recipe, see how it cooks up first and then maybe vary it a little later.

Thanks for the input!

...good lord, why do I not have a microwave. :D

I don't know it looks awesome.

I might have to try it tonight. Possibly with mint instead of vanilla, but, the principle of the thing!
