Five Minute Chocolate Cake in a Mug (This recipe is absolutely dee-lish! You must try it! It is also called "The Most Dangerous Cake in the World". Do you know why? Because now, we are only 5 minutes away from having a chocolate cake all for ourselves!!!)

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (Options. OPTIONAL??? What is optional about chocolate chips???)

Directions:

Use a coffee mug that holds about 1 3/4 cups liquid. Place dry ingredients in mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk, oil and vanilla and mix until thoroughly blended. Blend in chips if desired. Place the mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes for a 1,000 watt-oven - or 3 1/2 minutes for a 700 watt oven. Be sure to watch the cake through the glass door. It will rise up over the top of the mug, but do not be alarmed! It will settle down as it bakes. Allow to cool a little, and tip it out into a plate. Add a dollop of whipping topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. ENJOY! (The recipe says if you want to feel less guilty, this can serve two.)

Oh YUM!!! There is a funny story with this cake though :) Yesterday evening, I was trying to make one for myself. Everything seemed o.k., but when I put it in the microwave, it didn't rise at all! I took a bite, and it was HOT and soft. The next bite was o.k. The next bite was as hard as a rock!!! I had forgotten the egg. DON'T FORGET THE EGG!!! I had to throw it away. I had some of Mom's, so I know it's good! TRY IT!!!

So those are my two recipes I'm sharing! Enjoy!
