This is awesome! Being just one person, there's no point to baking a whole box of cake mix as I can't eat the whole pan. This makes just a little bit of cake, and if it isn't enough it's a snap to make another in less than 5 minutes. And it gets better--it still tastes great! A mug with all the dry ingredients in it and directions to add the milk, oil, and egg makes a great gift too.
Ingredients:
1 Mug
4 Tablespoons cake flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
Instructions:
1. Mix flour, sugar and cocoa.
2. Spoon in 1 egg.
3. Pour in milk and oil, and mix well.
4. Put in microwave for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000watt).
5. Wait until it stops rising and sets in the mug.
6. Tip contents out of mug onto saucer and enjoy!
Notes: It's important that you use baking cocoa and not the stuff you use to make hot chocolate. Also, this recipe can be made with olive oil and without the egg if you like.
