5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

4 tablespoons sr flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate drops
1 mug

Method
Add dry ingredients to the mug and mix well
Crack an egg and add it to your mug. Be sure to mix it well to avoid any pockets of flour in the corners
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well
Add the chocolate drops if you've got them, and a splash of vanilla essence too
Pop your mug into the microwave and zap for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000 watt)
Wait until the cake stops rising and sets in the mug
If necessary, run a knife around the sides of the mug and tip the still warm cake out of the mug and onto a saucer
Anyone like me who doesn’t like the taste of of oil, you can replace most of it except one teaspoon with baby apple and 2 and a half tablespoons of sugar instead of 4 still tastes yummy, especially since you have the sweetness of the choc bit. I’ve made it twice now and it was yum with a spoonful of icecream!
I’d love to find a non-chocolate variety for my boys.
