This is great for those times when I have a chocolate craving that just won't go away. It's quick, easy and makes a very small portion. I've tried it with semi-sweet chocolate chips, can't wait to try it with peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips. Great for an afternoon snack for the kids and it's simple enough that they can make it themselves.

SERVES 1 -2 , 1 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 tablespoons flour (not self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
nuts (optional)
1 dash vanilla

Directions

1
Required: 1 coffee mug.
2
Add dry ingredients to coffee mug and mix well.
3
Add the egg and mix well.
4
Add milk and oil and mix well.
5
Add vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts if desired.
6
Put the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes.
7
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.

This was ok. I think I was just expecting so much more from it based on the reviews. I did not find the consistancy to be very cakey, it was almost rubbery. The flavor left a little to be desired as well, not very sweet or chocolately, tasted mostly like flour. Sorry, this just did not do it for me, I guess there just isnt a substitute for just making a real chocolate cake.

A real winner! (And I don't even like cake.) I took the suggestion to use buttermilk, a little extra oil, and baking soda. It came out great, and perfect for just 2 people. (No guilt about all the leftover cake.) I used mini chocolate chips, which seemed just right for the container. I wasn't sure any of my mugs would be large enough, so I used a Pyrex measuring cup (2 c. size.) Just right.

Here's how you get it less dense, and a little more moist: (I've been working on this, sadly...) Use buttermilk instead of milk, and use 1/2 tsp. baking soda along in with the drys. Also, add between 1/2 and 1 Tbsp. of oil to make it a little more moist. Warning: the more oil you add, the more likely your mug will overflow. Try using a bowl as a mold, and it will be more cake shaped, too. Also, whip up a side of buttercream frosting, and it's fantastic.

I took the feedback of others and made some slight changes - and my family thought it was a real cake! To the listed recipe add: 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp lemon juice This provides just enough "lift" to the cake to keep it from getting too dense. One final delicious addition: drizzle some Hershey's syrup on top - YUM!
