Five 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)
Small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (microwave safe)

Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips, (if using) and vanilla extract.  Mix again.
Put mug in microwave and cook for 3 minute at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, don't be alarmed.  You might want to place mug on saucer in case of spills.
Allow to cool.  This cake can be served on a plate if desired.
EAT! (This could be shared by two, I suppose).

*And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only five minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of day or night!
Recipe credit goes to Eileen!

P.S.  This cake is dark, dense and delicious.  Very similar to a Molten Chocolate cake.  Endless variations could be make including the addition of cherries, whipped cream, chopped nuts, etc. etc. etc. 


Enjoy!
