Chocolate Mug Cake

So it’s raining outside. What about a quick and clean individual chocolate cake in a mug?

I saw a reference to this on a friend’s RSS shares and found it quite interesting. Chocolate cakes take some time to make and get all sorts of pots and pans dirty along with the kitchen. What if you could make 1 serving of cake for yourself in under 5 minutes only getting the actual mug you’re eating it in dirty? I tweaked this recipe a bit to be minimal and easy to remember, and it still tastes delicious:

Grab a mug. Put 50g of broken dark chocolate bits and 3 tablespoons of butter. Put that in the microwave for 1 minute to get it to melt. Mix well.
Add 1 egg and mix well. Add 4 tablespoons of flour, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk and a dash of vanilla extract and mix well (I mean well) again.
Put the mug in the microwave, 50% power for 1 ½ minute. The cake will rise in the mug and sink again. Enjoy!
