Chocolate mug shot dessert in under 5 minutes!

Not the traditional cake recipe, but a fun and quick dessert when you dream about eating a warm chocolate desert at that moment!

What you need: Makes 2 mugs of cake
3 Tbsp flour
3 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp dark cocoa powder
1 Tbsp chocolate morsels/chips
1/8th tsp baking powder, about 2 pinches
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp butter or 2 Tbsp oil
2 microwaveable coffee mugs
Some ice cream, warm chocolate syrup or fresh strawberries to top


In a little bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, Sift it. Beat the egg, oil, vanilla and milk in another bowl. Then combine it into the flour mixture and mix it well with a spoon. Prep two regular coffee mugs with butter and flour dust it. Pour the batter into them and fill both the cups equally. Drop the chocolate morsels into it.

Place it in the microwave and cook it on high for about 3 minutes or less. The cake will nearly overflow and then settle back to the rim of the cup. It tastes divine if it is slightly undercooked. Top it off with ice cream, chocolate syrup and or strawberries, for that oomph factor :-) . Use a fork and dig into some warm gooey goodness...enjoy!
