Had to pass this on....I made it tonight, and it does the job. I paired it with cut up strawberries...and wished I had some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to go with it. The only thing I would add to the instructions would be to place a paper towel under your mug in the microwave, and use the biggest mug you have. Enjoy!
Recipe of the Week: Chocolate Cake-in-a-Mug
Today's recipe comes from Pat Hollon of Buckley, who received the recipe from her daughter, Lynn Hentschell. Pat says it's "like the Boston Brown Bread 'in the can' texture."
Why is this a dangerous cake recipe? Because chocolate cake is now just 5 minutes away!
Dangerous Chocolate Cake-in-a-Mug
1 coffee mug (microwave-safe)
4 T. cake flour (plain, not self-rising)
4 T. sugar
2 T. cocoa
1 egg
3 T. milk
3 T. oil
Splash of vanilla
3 T. chocolate chips, optional
Add dry ingredients to the mug; mix well with a fork. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in milk, oil, and vanilla, and mix well. Add chips, if using.
Put mug in the microwave, and cook for three minutes at 1,000 watts. Cake will rise over the top of the mug -- do not be alarmed. When finished, carefully remove mug from microwave and allow to cool a little. Tip onto a small plate prior to serving, if desired. Yields one generous serving or two "more virtuous" servings
