Having just myself and des petits animeaux around in the apartment lately has got me feeling lonely and bored- So, what better way to cheer up than... Chocolate! (mmm) Yea, yea, I know I shouldn't eat away my solitude, but when I found this recipe for a "5 minute Cholate Cake" (in a MUG no less AND cooked in the microwave in a mere 3 minutes!), I couldn't resist.
I was going to attempt an artsy-type entry and take some pictures of my creation in the works, but alas, my camera battery is kaput so that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Give this a try! The texture will come out a bit better if you whisk the egg prior to mixing with the dry ingredients; Bon Apetit! :)
5 Minute Chocolate Cake Recipe
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
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 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. Enjoy!
Dangerous & Delicious I tell ya <3

I'm a huge fan of the 5 Minute Chocolate Cake Recipe, too. In fact, I'm also the author of a new book called, "101 Recipes for Microwave Mug Cakes" that was recently featured on the Rachael Ray Show.
