Chocolate Cup Cake...

What do you do when you have a craving for chocolate cake but no desire to actually spend an hour baking one or the motivation to drive to town to buy one? Make your own Chocolate Cup Cake!

I ran across the receipe online and was a bit skeptical but I figured what the heck? And if it didn't turn out, I was only out a few minutes and a couple of cheap ingredients! The end result isn't exactly pretty but it is pretty yummy. And, seriously, it only takes about 5 minutes from craving to satisfaction!

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE CUP CAKE

4 tablespoons cake flour (plain flour, not self-rising.)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla essence
1 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 essence 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!

It is a heavier more spongy cake so you might even want to share --- or maybe not!
