HoW tO mAkE A cAke iN a mUg..


When your sweet cravings kick in but you don't have time to bake something tasty and warm, here's an excellent recipe to make a simple, quick and easy chocolate cake.

Recipe - Chocolate Cake
* 4 Tbsp. cake flour
- if you don't have cake flour, sift 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour and 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- other kinds of flour will work as well, but the cake will be heavier
* 4 Tbsp. granulated sugar
* 2 Tbsp. cocoa
* 1 egg
* 3 Tbsp. milk (any kind)
* 3 Tbsp. oil (any kind but peanut)
* splash in a little vanilla

Steps
1. Grease the inside of the mug with cooking spray or oil.
2.Measure and pour the dry ingredients into the mug. Stir ingredients with a spoon.
3.Crack the egg and add it to the mug. Stir to get the egg incorporated in the dry ingredients.
4. Measure and pour the wet ingredients into the mug( Mug should be microwaveable).
5.Stir and beat everything together to get a "cake batter" mix.
6.Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Timing may be different for various watt amounts.
7.Watch as the cake starts to rise while in the microwave.
8. Use a potholder or oven mitt to remove the mug from the microwave.
9.Remove the cake from the mug. Take a fork and cut the cake into 4 pieces (quarters). Cutting the cake will help it cool down faster.
10. Garnish the cake with ice cream, whipped cream, glaze, syrup, or another topping of your choice.

It is amazing because before this I thought the mug will low of in the oven cz of the heat.
