Personal size cake in only 5 minutes.
Mix dry ingredients in microwave proof coffee mug. Add egg and mix well, add milk, vanilla, and oil, mix well. Bake in 1000 watt microwave oven 3 minutes. Will rise over the top, but don't worry. Let cool a couple of minutes and tip out on a plate or sit down with a cup of coffee and "have your cake and eat it too". Would serve two if you feel like sharing.

Last year at Christmas time, I needed something to give out to 16 employees. I looked for something personal and affordable.
Mix dry ingredients first in a med/large coffee mug, then add the wet ones. Microwave for 3 minutes in a 1000 watt nuker. Instant and easy 5 minute chocolate cake!
You won't believe this ooey-gooey cake was made in the microwave in 90 seconds. You don't need to add an egg to it, and that's actually the key to why this dessert is extra moist and delicious.
I like this recipe because you can have a treat at any time in the microwave. It is quick, easy, and low on calories. It can also be stored on the shelf for an instant snack. No need to bake a whole cake.
I found this new recipe which is not probaby new to you guys, but it is to me. It is the cup cake that you bake in the microwave, perfect for me. I tried it out today, and it was great!
I am not a cake connoisseur but this is tasty and definitely quick and also thrifty because you don't have to bake an entire cake (which might not all be eaten before spoiling) to fulfill a craving. If you like small portions, it's good for two servings.
I've lost the recipe for the coffee cup cake. Please help me find it again.

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)
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).
