Do you have two minutes? Do you have a mug? Do you have a few basic ingredients? Then you can have chocolate cake whenever you want! I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing...
I found the recipe here and it could not be easier! Here is what you need:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch salt
3 tablespoons chocolate chips
Mix the oil, milk, egg, and vanilla with a fork or small whisk in a microwave-safe mug. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Microwave on high for two minutes. Serve immediately.
It is so delicious but it is a bit rich. I actually had a difficult time finishing the whole thing so you might want to share it with your Valentine!
Give it a try!

ReplyDeleteI've made the cake in a mug before, But I love how you put it in the red mug, added whipping cream and made it look all Valentinesy!
ReplyDeleteLove it!

I saw this on the Keep Calm linkup and had to click over--I just made this last night for the first time and LOVED it! Who would have thought that a few basic ingredients, mixed together in a coffee mug, would come out tasting so delicious by the simple process of microwaving?? I'm off to make another one tonight. ;)

I tried this today & wasn't a fan. Be careful that it doesn't over cook & get tough. It will be rubbery.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely treat and so easy. Who can resist chocolate? Thanks for sharing.
