so you crave chocolate cake but you don't want to get out the big guns ... here's the next best thing.. cake prepared in a mug and cooked in the microwave in just 3 minutes, yayyy
4 tbsp flour
4 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp oil
1 egg splash vanilla
3 tbsp cocoa
large microwavable mug
add dry ingredients to mug and mix
add egg and mix
add oil and milk and mix again
add splash of vanilla, mix
place mug in microwave and cook for 3 minutes, voila!
don't worry if cake comes to the top of mug and seems to overflow, just let it rest.
you can use icing or nutella
ok so this is not julia child's version but it will do in a pinch, especially if you don't want to be tempted with a whole chocolate cake lying around the kitchen...
