Do you like to live Dangerously?


I too, like to live dangerously.
...well, this'll prove to be dangerous to me.
Because I love chocolate....i mean, i LOVE it.
If I'm grumpy, or headachy, or just plain poopy, Eric knows to get me some chocolate, and I'll be better...works every time.
Well, tonight i tried this recipe I got from a friend...and it was good. An easy to make small dessert when you just have a small craving for something chocolaty.
It was enough to feed me and the kids. I only wished I'd had some whip cream or cool whip.

Here's the wonderful recipe...
I used 3 dishes to make it; the mug, a small whisk, and a measuring spoon. I recommend also sprinkling choco chips on top right before sticking it in the microwave.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world ?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

I'm about to try the recipe right now. I've been completely curious about how this will turn out. I wanted to try it the day you posted it.
