Tasty Tuesday - Five Minute Chocolate Cake

This recipe is a horrible, terrible thing to share. Because it really is a chocolate cake in FIVE MINUTES. In the MICROWAVE. And it's delicious.

I have to work very hard not to make one daily.

I got the recipe from our realtor. She was nice enough to leave it on our doorstep this Halloween with a bag of chocolate chips, so the recipe is copied straight from what she gave me... enjoy!

5 Minute Chocolate Cake


4T flour
4T sugar
2T cocoa
1 egg
3T milk
3T oil
4T chocolate chips (this is the only change I'd make, I really think these are optional, and I would at least cut it to 2T)
Splash of Vanilla
1 Large Coffee Mug

Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add chocolate chips and vanilla and mix again.
Put mug in the microwave on saucer and cook for 3 minutes. (Cake may rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed.)
Allow to cool for 3 minutes, then dump out on saucer.
EAT! (This can serve two if so desired.)


Why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because we are now only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
