5 Minute Chocolate Cake

A 5 minute chocolate cake you say? I know it sounds hard to believe but you can have a delicious 1 person cake (or 2 if you are willing to share). A friend of mine shared this with me and it is the best thing to make when you are having a chocolate craving. Even people who can't bake can make this since there are no ovens involved!

4 tbsp flour
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp oil
3 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug or 1cereal bowl (microwave safe)

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

Allow to cool for 2 minutes, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
