i'm sure you've all heard/read about the 'microwave chocolate cake in a mug'. i have gotten the email circular a few times and always thought about making it; but never did. until tonight! ;]

i wanted to make kullen [and myself, hehe] a little somethin sweet since he ate 3 [kullen-sized] helpings of cabbage&potatoes! unfortunately, our oven is out of commission so i am limited to what i can make. since we have no ice cream [or anything else unhealthy tasty] i immediately thought of the microwave chocolate cake!

i mixed all the ingredients together in a [microwave safe] coffee mug:

4tbsp: flour

4tbsp: sugar
2tbsp: baking cocoa
1egg
3tbsp: milk
3tbsp: flour
3tbsp: chocolate chips [optional, and you KNOW i opted]

microwave for 3 minutes! i put a paper towel down thinking it would 'run' but it didn't. just rose and then sunk back down afterwards.

take out of mug and enjoy! :]

suggestions: [which i didn't follow]

-make sure you stir bottom corners of mug - otherwise you'll have some flour lumps.

    -spray mug with cooking spray/pam. would probably help the cake to slide out easier.

    -keep ice cream on hand, it would have been delish!
