5 Minute Mug Cake

My friend Stacie sent this to me. I immediately scanned the kitchen for the ingredients... no chocolate of any sort and no oil. Well, you know me, I decided to make it anyway. Mine would be vanilla and I would use butter instead of oil. Here's the recipe followed by my personal results....

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a 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 (if using)
and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high).
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.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

Anticipation....

It ain't purty, and it's bouncy, but strangely...  well, OK, it's not very good, but that's probably because of my substitution.  I WILL try again.
