danger danger

Alright, so I got this chain mail email from my aunt yesterday with the subject line "The most dangerous chocolate cake recipe"... it was a recipe for chocolate cake in a MUG that you cook in the microwave.

Now, I have the most ridiculous sweet tooth, and I am a sucker for anything chocolate. Well of course today, when I got my hankerin' for something sweet, and realized all the good candy out of Dakota's Halloween candy bag had been eaten, I decided to give it a try... and MAN OH MAN, it was good. And it's DANGEROUS!! REAL DANGEROUS!! Chocolate lovers beware...

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)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

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 extract, 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! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world ?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
