THE 5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR ONE PERSON
Ever have a chocolate cake sitting around the house calling your name, even though you promised yourself you would only eat one piece? Yes, me too. Here is the perfect solution.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE FOR ONE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) who wouldn't choose the option:)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT ! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night! Shame on this dietitian.

Great idea for when a "I gotta have chocolate " moment strikes!
