5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

If you love sweets, but you don't have a need for a big cake... try this simple one serving mug of cake. Around the holidays, some of us have to cook for 50 or 60 people. I'm cooking cakes, pies, candies and all kinds of goodies. Sometimes, however, we just want a little somethin' somethin'.

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

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 (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
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.
EAT!
