5 Minute Chocolate Mud Cake

I received this email from my cousins wife. My son and I had a go yesterday morning before breakfast (like you do!)

You will need...

4 Tablespoons Cake Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons of Milk
3 Tablespoons of Oil
3 Tablespoons of Chocolate Drops (if you want)
1 Mug

Here is what you do...

Add dry ingredients to the mug and mix well.

Crack an egg and add to your mug (I pre beated it with a fork). Be sure to mix it well to avoid pockets of flour.

Pour in milk and oil then mix well.



Add chocolate drops if you desire and a splash of vanilla essence.

Pop your mug into a microwave and zap for 3 minutes on high (1000 Watt). Wait patiently.



Wait until the cake stops rising (ours did not rise) and the cake sets in the mug.



Run a knife around the mug, tip the warm cake out and sprinkle icing sugar on the top then eat eat and eat!

Hi,
Tried to answer to your mail, but it didn`t work I think. This is what I wrote:

Nice to "meet" you. The "cake" was very good. Next time I will try it with vanilla icecream, I think, just to make it even better.

I have done a short translation in my blogg (all by my self, sorry if the English isn`t correct, but I hope it is understandable) so please take another look.

How good does that look? My 11 year old and I have drooled all over the laptop and can't wait to make it for breakfast tomorrow! (It's almost bread, isn't it? And bread is good for breakfast!)

Chocolate is made from Cocoa beans - beans are vegetables - vegetables are good for you! I'm off to make a mud cake! Thanks for sharing ;-)

Wow this looks amazingly good!! I've only just across this, totally by accident whilst searching for dessert recipes for one, which is hard to find, as most cake recipes are for 4-6 people. Can't wait to try this out!

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer Lola, a friend of mine who had a similar disease told me about Dr. James  herbal mix  medicine who cured her of Ovarian cancer, .She gave me Dr.James  email address, I contacted him quickly and he assured that his herbal mix medicine will cure my breast cancer, I said Okay. I asked him about the process for the cure, he asked me to pay for the fees which I did and within 4 working days, he sent me the herbal mix medicine and instructed me on how to drink it for 3 months to get cured. I told Lola my friend about the herbal medicine so she gave me a go-ahead to drink it. I drank the herbal medicine for 3 months and I was totally cured. I'm so grateful and I have promised to recommend anyone suffering from cancer or any kind of disease to him and that what I'm doing.Dr.James herbal mix medicine  made me  believe there is hope for people suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's diseases, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, Schizophrenia, Cancer, Scoliosis, Bladder Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Breast Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, Lung Cancer, Skin Cancer, Uterine Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Fibromyalgia, a
