5 Minute Chocolate MUG Cake

By Bec

This is the most simple chocolate cake in the world, made just for one person.
I make it for a quick dessert or when I need chocolate
You’ll need:
4 Table spoons of Self-Raising flour
4 Tablespoons of Sugar
2 Tablespoons of cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons of Milk
3 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
3 Tablespoons of Chocolate Chips (optional)
1 Coffee Mug
Here’s what you do:
1. Put all the dry ingredients into the mug and mix well
2. Crack the egg and add it to the mug. Be sure to mix it well to avoid any pockets of flour in the corner.
3. Pour in the milk and oil, mix well.
4. Add the chocolate chips if you’re using them and a splash of vanilla essence if you like.
5. Put the mug into the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on maximum power (microwaves will differ in heat)
6. Wait until the cake stops rising and sets in the mug
7. Run a knife around the side of the mug and tip the warm cake out onto a plate.
Now eat!
For an extra treat, drizzle some chocolate sauce over the cake.

Ingredients
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

1/2 cup water
7 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk

Combine raisins and water in a large saucepan. Simmer over low heat until raisins are plump and tender, about 10 minutes.
In a separate saucepan, mix together sugar and flour. Whisk in milk, butter or margarine, and salt. Cook over medium heat until thick, stirring constantly. Stir raisins into milk mixture. Pour filling into pastry-lined pie pan. Cover filling with pastry strips in a lattice design. Crimp edges.
