Mug cake!

[suzyscottdotcom]

Found this last week via thermalsatsuma , and made one for C that evening. She loved it... unfortunatly, next one I made wasn't as good for some reason, needed a bit longer... maybe just microwave having an off-day. Anyway, enjoy!

• Put 4 tablespoons of plain flour, 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa in a mug and mix thoroughly.
• Add 1 egg, and mix well.
• Add 3 tablespoons of milk and 3 tablespoons of oil – mix again until well combined.
• If desired, add chocolate chips and a splash of vanilla.
• Microwave the mug for 3 minutes at 1000 watts or 4 minutes at 700 watts (the cake will rise above the top of the mug but don’t panic!)
• Allow to cool, turn out onto a plate if you like.
• Apparently margarine tastes better than oil – but you have to add this before the egg and milk instead of after.

That looks pretty yummish. I'll have to try it and I'm already thinking of ways to play with the recipe : )
