most dangerous cake recipe in the world

Just had to share this recipe. You all know I'm not much for cooking, but it looks easy enough that even I can make it. :) I'll let you know just as soon as I get some cocoa.


MUG CAKE

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! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).



And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?

Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

  1. Here is a slightly different recipe... ENJOY!

    Even more dangerous because it's even faster and easier... and you can still add the 3T of chocolate chips if you want. Totally kid-
    friendly, but remind them to let it cool first.

    4 Tablespoons flour
    9 Tablespoons hot chocolate mix
    1 Egg
    3 Tablespoons water
    3 Tablespoons oil
    Cooking Spray

    Spray a little cooking spray into the mug. Measure out the flour and hot chocolate mix into the mug. Stir. Crack the egg into the mug. Stir a bit after adding the egg so the cup doesn't overflow.
    Add water and oil. Stir until thoroughly moistened. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the mug with your spoon to avoid any leftover pockets of dry ingredients. Put the mug in the microwave on high and set the timer for 3 minutes.
    It will rise over the edge, don't worry. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
