5 Minute Chocolate Cake

This is an excellent recipe for anyone who has ever had one of those *cravings* for something chocolatey.  This recipe requires no special equipment--just a mug and a fork!  The entire recipe, start to finish, takes less than 5 minutes.
As for taste, it hits the spot and satisfies that chocolate craving.  I recommend serving it with whipped cream or ice cream.  Mine came out a little dense and dry, so the ice cream I ate with it really balanced it out.  But I really couldn't complain for cake "baked" in a microwave!

Recipe- 5 Minute Chocolate Cake (thanks to the fabulous a. pankey for discovering this during her website browsing!)

4 tablespoons cake flour 
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter

1. Mix the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder in a mug.

2. Add the egg, milk, and oil to the mug.  Mix well.



3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes.  The "cake" will rise several inches over the mug and then fall.  
4. Shake the cake out of the mug onto a plate. 

5. Enjoy!

  1. This is great! I made mine with regular flour, egg substitute and soy milk and it was actually very moist. It was a great dessert. Didn't have any ice cream, though...
