This recipe was emailed around a few years ago. And when my Aunt ( The Big Red Barn ) sent it to us we tried it . Its something the kids & I like to make any time of year, but its such a great comfort food when you need some warming up.
4 tablespoons flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 egg, 3 tablespoons milk, 3 tablespoons oil, 1 dash vanilla, 1 dash salt , 1 dash baking powder & a handful of chocolate chips.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a mug.
Then add the milk, oil, egg and vanilla & mix well.
Micro for about 3 min’s . Cake will bake up over the top of the mug. Remove carefully and “plop” on to a plate and let the crowd go to town!

| One mug makes several servings after you brake it up. |
Its not gourmet but it’s the best 3 min cake we’ve ever made. . (or maybe its who you share it with that makes it taste so good!)

What a wonderful picture Roundabout! I would kill myself on skates these days, but I do miss it.
The cake looks like a lot of [easy] fun. I think I am going to make it for Wallene this afternoon for snack. She deserves a treat. :)
Thanks!
Well this is just the coolest recipe ever! I bet your kids just love it.
Jealous about your ice-skating. We haven't had the opportunity to get down to our pond yet to skate -- hoping for next weekend. :)
Oh that's pretty neat! Glad you guys had fun! I'm like a cow on ice on roller skates so I'd never have the nerve to try ice skating...
Skippy- Wallene will love it ( you will too!)Its a not as fluffy as regular cake, but its still full of chocolate yummy-ness!
Nancy- hope you get a chance to skate this weekend! We had so much fun we're going again Saturday.
Texwisgirl- You should try it. Its not as bad as you think :) I think its alittle easier then rollerskating.
I want to try that.
What a fun little recipe! We rarely feel like eating our way through an entire cake, so this is the perfect way to have our cake and eat it too!
Amazing , I have never nuked a cake.I put a peanut butter jar in to get the last of it out for some Thai noodles and the tiny bit of foil I forgot about makes a brilliant blue flare.This is nice because it is something I always have around the house.
This is AWESOME!!! My kids are going to go for this in a blink!!!!!
:)
Wow, it's like you read my mind. I've been thinking about the recipe for this mug cake for sometime now since buying my 1st microwave. We tried it years ago at a science center and Alex liked the fact it was so quick to make. I'll make him one later for a surpise after school :-)
I've never seen a cake in a mug before. My boys will love this :)
