This has to be the best recipe I ever found...please try it and enjoy...

1 coffee mug

4 tbls. flour (plain..not self -rising)

4 tbls. sugar

2 tbls. baking cocoa

1 egg

3 tbls. milk

3 tbls.oil

3 tbls. choco chips (optional)

small splash of vanilla

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

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.

Add the choco chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

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

Can serve 2...and this is the most dangerous cake recipe known because now you are only five minutes away from chocolate cake any time of the day...or night yikes. ! :o) hugs G-Ma

P.S. ashwinspga has given me a good idea.....you can add nuts....also of course choco frosting or whip cream or whatever turns you on...lol

Thank you so much NANA for sharing such a tasty treat with us

p/s* Nana out of curiosity, :o)

a) eyes, nose, mouth

b) eyes, mouth, chin

I tried this and it did not work. It boiled all over the inside of my microwave. I tried it anyway and it was horrible. WAY too salty tasting. Any idea why?

Oh one thing my microwave is 700 watt. Suggestions on time

G-Ma Johnson profile image

G-Ma Johnson  says:

oh my so sorry..doesn't call for salt...did you forget the sugar like Ashwin did?..and I do not know about time with 700 watt..Wish I could have cleaned the mess for you tho :o(..

I can try to find out..Thanks tho for letting me know...G-Ma :o) hugs

G-Ma Johnson  says:

Well I made another one tonight..it worked very well....but I used cake flour and it seemed rubbery to me. So just all-purpose flour seems to be best...also I added the choco chips this time but they all were on the bottom.....so trial and error i guess?

still is fun.....G-Ma :o) hugs

You've got to be kidding! A chocolate cake you bake in microwave right in a mug for only 5 minutes. Ohhhh, G-Ma you are right. This is dangerous. And then you had to go and add Ashwins great idea. Your killing me!!!! LOL and I love it!

Just tried it. Too heavy and dry. Do you sift the flour 1st or scoop right out of the bag?

G-Ma Johnson  says:
