Microwave Chocolate Cake

Did you know that you could have delicious, homemade, warm chocolate cake in just five minutes? You can! My Aunt Sylvia sent me this recipe awhile back, but I just tried it out yesterday afternoon. I was rather surprised at how good it tasted! Not the same texture as a regular cake, but good none the less, and so quick and simple to make. 


MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE: 

Ingredients: 

2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Splash of vanilla 

Preparation:
Put dry ingredients into a coffee mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract and mix again. Put the mug in the microwave and cook on high for *2 minutes. The cake may rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed. Allow to cool and tip out onto a plate if desired. 



*It may take longer to cook depending on your microwave, mine took about 2.5 minutes, and one of my cousins said it took him about 4 minutes.
