I just had to post this recipe that my mom found online (on a knitting blog, actually). We tried it today, and it was fabulous. I made some for Nate tonight, substituting peanut butter chips for chocolate chips, and he loved it so much that he asked me to make it for his birthday next week. Here is the recipe:
Microwave Chocolate Cake
4 Tbsp flour
4 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 egg
3 Tbsp milk
3 Tbsp oil
splash of vanilla
3 Tbsp chocolate chips (optional)
1 microwave safe mug
Add dry ingredients to mug and mix together. Add egg and mix. Add oil and milk and mix. Add vanilla and chocolate chips (if using) and mix. Place mug in microwave and microwave for 3 minutes. Cake may rise over top of mug, but that's normal- it won't spill over unless you used a teeny mug. Let cool- mug and cake will be very hot. Eat straight from mug, or tip over into bowl and serve with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or whatever suits your fancy.
