INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon sugar PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon oil
DIRECTIONS:
Mix all dry ingredients. Add milk, vanilla extract and oil and until well blended. Spray a microwave-safe cup with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the cup.
Microwave at full power for 1 minute. Depending upon the strength of your microwave and shape of your cup or container, you may need to cook the cake longer in 15 second increments until done.
As long as you don't overcook it, it won't turn rubbery. Since it contains no eggs, you don't have to worry about salmonella with the short cooking time. Also, the cake will puff up so don't fill a very small container. It needs some room to rise.
It's not a fancy cake but when you eat it warm with whipped cream, ice cream or a chocolate glaze, it tastes pretty good.
You can change the flavor of the cake by adding drops of various extracts: almond, mint, etc.

So dont mix it (cook it obviously) and just eat it and it tastes like chocolate rice crispies with oatmeal

I subbed a tsp of espresso for the cocoa powder. And added some brown sugar, a little bit of cocoa mix with tiny marshmellows, and a touch of water. At first it looked like a puke color, but when I cooked it it tasted delicious!

mmmmm....perfect midnight snack, and tastes great with a bit of vanilla icecream. It's kinda dry on its own though...but still great :P. Thanks.

I just made this - subbed soy milk, skipped second portion of sugar, added 2 tsp of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows mix, and a splash of water to compensate for the added dry ingredient. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream :d It's between the consistency of bread/pudding. I've made mug cakes before, but not all recipes are created equal. This one is much better than several others I have tried. Don't overcook it! My microwave made it in 50 sec.

Haha, I started this recipe and then realised I didn't have any cocoa powder, so instead I used some brown sugar and cinnamon, and it was delicious!!! I can't wait to try it with chocolate!

This is a great recipe. Thank you so much for sharing!!! I added few chocolate chips on the top before putting it in the microwave...yummmyyy..Next time I would only put 1 tbsp sugar, because of the chocolate chips.

This is a great way to end a dinner party. Prior to the start of the party, put all of the ingredients out on the kitchen counter in individual containers and order of insertion. Have little signs behind each ingredient that states the measurement and what to do with it, i.e. mix in 2 TB of flour, and a mug for each guest. Everyone will wonder about all of the "stuff" and ask what you're up to. I just told them that we were going to have dinner and then everyone was going to make their own dessert. This gave them something to look forward to as dinner progressed because they couldn't imagine how this was going to come about.... read more

This is such a good cake. Its really simple and quick and easy. I love to make it at sleepovers because it is really easy and if you prepare it beforehand, people can add what they want. I totally recommend this recipe. Its easy for kids to make, too.
