Chocolate Mug Cake

Yesterday, I did a bad thing.

I was sitting on my couch watching Ellen when I found myself really wanting something sweet.  Usually I ignore such cravings or shut them up with some frozen grapes.  This was different, though.  Ladies, it was one of those cravings and one of those times, and all I wanted was something warm and comforting.  Maybe some chocolate in there somewhere, too.

I remembered seeing a single serving mug cake on Pinterest.  Not five minutes later, I was standing in front of my microwave, unknowingly embarking on what I can only call a very dangerous journey.

Because, in less than two minutes I had a perfectly moist chocolate cake.

The opportunities for this are seemingly endless.  Cake studded with chocolate or butterscotch chips.  Red velvet.  Funfetti.  Carrot.  See what I did?  I've created a cake monster.

Chocolate Mug Cake

3 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 egg

3 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder

3 1/2 tbsp milk

splash vanilla extract

3 1/2 tbsp oil

Combine all ingredients in a large coffee mug.  Pour half into a container for later use.  Microwave for 1-1 1/2 minutes.  Add sprinkles, if desired.

And that's it, folks!  That easy!
