Guess what I ate for lunch!

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)
1 large coffee mug

1. Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

2. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.

3. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

4. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake may rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

5. Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

6. Eat!!!

It may not be the prettiest cake you've ever seen, but it's cake!
