You are here: Home > Recipes > Desserts > Chocolate mug cake
4 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 tablespoon choc chips (optional)
1 large mug
1. Add dry ingredients to the mug, and mix well.
2. 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 melted butter and mix well. Add the vanilla essence.
3. Pop your mug into the microwave & zap for 3 minutes on maximum power. Wait until the cake stops rising, and sets in the mug.
4. 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.

ha cant believe tht actually works. thanks. its so easy and cheap :)
i tried this but every few seconds it rose up and came out the top of the mug! it was really rubbery aswell, in the bin it went
Me and my flatmate stumbled upon this the other week, try it in a bowl! Also some golden syrup on top before you put it in the microwave equals mega yums!
stumbled across this web site and am going to have my nieces make this reciepe the next time there here for a visit !!!! I will be back for more
This was really rubbery! Nice, but not brilliant.
Instead of the melted butter, try one tablepoon of cooking oil.
what kind of flour did you use??
This didnt really work for me unfortunatly coz I loved the idea!! mine kept rising out of the mug in the microwave then went rubbery so I think I'll try it again and maybe have better results...
I love this!! Had it for breakfast a couple of times it's so quick to make lol :D
this is brilliant for a student who doesn't own baking tins for cakes! thanks for sharing!
