FHE Treat: Mug Cake

For a FHE treat we made 5 minute Chocolate Mug Cake in the microwave. It was a hit with the kids. It tastes a little on the rubbery side to me, which was good because it wasn't quite as tempting for me to devour by the mugful!




5 Minute Mug Cake
1 large hot chocolate mug sprayed with non-stick spray
4 Tablespoons flour
4Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
3 Tablespoons chocolate chips
3 drops vanilla extract

Add the dry ingredients to the mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Add the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and vanilla and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high. Allow it to cool a little and then tip the cake out of the mug. Eat!
If your mug isn't HUGE like mine, it will rise over the top of the mug while cooking. Don't be alarmed! It is supposed to do that. We ate our cake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. What doesn't taste good with ice cream and chocolate syrup? I rest my case.

Awesome job! I AM so proud of you! I am glad to know that I don't have to try these brownies. I am back on Diet Power and working out. Here's to weighing 120 by the end of the year...

Welcome back! I'm also glad to know about the mug cakes. They look yummy, but rubber's not my preferred culinary texture.
