4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
mix well
then add
1 egg and mix well
then add
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
mix again
add 3 tablespoons chocolate chips ( I would use mini chips)
A small splash of vanilla extract and mix well
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.
Then EAT!
I dusted it with powdered sugar
(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!
My two taste testers rated the cake out of a possible 5 stars
flavor 4 stars
texture 2 stars
presentation 3.5 stars
I would have to agree the flavor was nice,
the texture was not great,
presentation once dusted with sugar was cute
I had used regular chocolate chip but most ended up stuck in the bottom of the mug,
so I would use mini chocolate chips in the hopes they would melt a bit and not settle to the bottom.
Certainly, it was not the best tasting chocolate cake I had ever had, but it sure beat out a lot of bad birthday cakes I have been served.
Give it a try and tell me what you think.

5 minute chocolate cake. Oh my goodness! I have to try it… could be an interesting addition to my "trial gourmet" series 🙂
It didn't make a giant mess in the microwave???
