Ingredients

1 Coffee Mug

4 tablespoons flour(that's plain flour, not self-rising)

4 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons baking cocoa

1 egg

3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons oil

3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) some nuts (optional)

Small splash of vanilla

Directions

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, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high.

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 share!)

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?

Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake any time of the day or night

What is baking cocoa Midge?? This really sounds interresting!!

midgelet 1 year, 3 months ago said:
Cocoa is the dried and fully fermented fatty seed of the cacao tree from which chocolate is made.

Cocoa's are powdered and are avialable in cans, jars and packages for baking.
Unlike powdered drinking cocoa for "hot Chocolate" beverages, the baking kind ( and there are also varieties like Dutch processed ) are used for most baked good like chocolate brownies ,chocolate cakes, etc.
Hope this helps
Oh I forgot to add the baking cocoa is pure stuff but the cocoa for beverages already has sugar and other dried milk products etc.and usually is not suited for baked goods in general

I got this same recipe in an e-mail and sent it to every chocoholic I know...and then some. I'm glad YOU had the good sense to post it! 5!!!!!!

Well I made it: use a 10 oz mug for sure, micro cook in stages ( perhaps 2 minutes instead of 3 etc. ) as my micro overcooked it and it came out very dry. This has great potential . I liked the texture and flavor but it got real hard and dry as it cooled. I am sure the only improvement is testing the time related to the micro waatage for your oven- !! It's worth testing and getting it right for your particular oven.
Please post results here if anyone else has tried this

Sucess!, hubby wanted to taste this, so I repeated this: now when you see the cake rise to the top of the mug, stop and look at it. Touch it. It if looks done, feels done and yet a bit shiny wet, "stop" as it will contine to cook out of the micro. I also used a glass mug and timing might be different for a ceramic one.
So I guess this is a keeper after all!

Omg, i wish i cud make this...

is there a way to make it using cocoa powder?

You know, the kind used for making instant hot cocoa...

mountainmama 1 year, 3 months ago said:
Wow what a great recipe. Love this one. Its a High 5 Recipe :)

midgelet 1 year, 3 months ago said:
Baking cocoa must be used as hot cocoa mixes won't give the dark flavor or chcolaty texture. Baking cocoa is easily obtainable!

Nice!! i will be trying this soon!!

marc0906 1 month, 3 weeks ago said:
Do you not need any baking powder? What makes the cake rise? Could it be that the egg is all you need for it to rise? Thank you.

midgelet 1 month, 3 weeks ago said:
No bp is needed, the heat from the micro is really the source of rise. BP would make it rise too much!!!

Since I didn't have milk at hand, I used 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoons of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. Worked great! Thanks for the recipe.

Have anyone tried Splenda instead of the sugar?
