Cake in a mug

[davidn]

I think I might need to adjust the recipe a bit. This has somehow inverted itself and become mug in a cake.

Okay, odd, I've re-made the recipe into ounces (which is typically used in professional baking) but I seem to see a standard recipe online which seems to duplicate what it should relate to.

4 tablespoons flour (cake flour preferred, all-purpose is fine)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
dash of vanilla extract

Mix the flour, sugar, and cocoa in a microwave-safe mug.
Add the egg and mix again.
Finally, add the milk, oil, vanilla, and chocolate chips.

Microwave on High for 3 minutes. (I have 5 min written down here but people are saying 3min on a 1000-watt oven and 4min on a 700w oven. Maybe my microwave's REALLY old.) Let it cool for a couple of minutes (letting the popped-out cake theoretically return to the mug).

I'd love to see the recipe that caused your mug-in-a-cake, btw. :)
