Chocolate Cake In A Mug

Ingredients:

• 1 large mug
• 4 tablespoons plain flour (do not use self-rising) or all purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons oil or 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
• Small splash of vanilla
• chocolate syrup (optional)
• whipped topping (optional)
• 1 pinch salt

Steps:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk; blend together. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; blend into the mixture until smooth. Pour into greased bowl.
2. Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched. Since all microwaves cook differently, adjust the cooking time to accommodate your machine. Let the cake cool five minutes, then cover the bowl with a plate and turn both bowl and plate upside down so the cake falls onto the plate.
