I was on my own for dinner one night, so I decided to take a cooking holiday and just have a plain old bowl of cereal for dinner. While I certainly do love me some cereal, I didn't feel completely satisfied and was really craving something sweet. Luckily I had a recipe on hand for an "emergency" chocolate cake that requires really basic ingredients and no real cooking at all. Perfect!
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips
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 and vanilla and mix again. Put 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. Goes especially well with vanilla ice cream!
