My friend, Lacie, sent me a text the other night about this chocolate
cake she made. In a mug. In the microwave. In three minutes! I decided
to give it a try tonight and added my own little twist! It is tasty and
rich...and perfect when you need a little chocolate fix!
Three Minute Chocolate Cake
4 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons Milk
3 Tablespoons Oil
1-2 Tablespoons Chopped Hazelnuts (optional)
3 Tablespoons Chocolate Chips (optional)
Small Splash of Vanilla
Nutella
French Vanilla (or plain) Cool Whip
Add
dry ingredients to a large mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix
thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate
chips and hazelnuts, if using, and vanilla, and mix again.
Put your mug
in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high. The cake will rise
over the top of the mug, but don't worry, it won't explode! Poke holes in the top of the
cake and spoon a small amount of Nutella over the top of the warm cake.
Move to a plate and serve with Cool Whip...or eat it right out of the
mug!
