I have not tried this yet but it sounds good....

THE MOST DANGEROUS CAKE RECIPE!!!!!

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

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 (high).
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!

i posted this recipe a while back. i also posted pics of the final product.
and yes, it is very dangerous. have you made one or two yet?

Oops, mea culpa on that. Sorry to double post on you there...I guess I have not been following the board as close as usual....

Yes I made it. Yes it is dangerous because it is so easy. Make everything in the one coffee cup so easy clean up. I did not have any cocoa so used 2T of a vanilla flavored English powderd custard called Bird's. Came out great. Will have to try other flavors since it is so easy.

no worries.
below from my post:
Note: I made it w/o the chocky chips and topped it w/whipping cream, chocky syrup and walnuts. Cake was good n hot. It did rise over the mug, then settled back down. It could easily be sliced to serve 4.
Next time, I'm thinking of using some butterscotch chips or marshmallows or bananas or strawberries or kahlua. And it actually took less than 15 mins....very dangerous.
