Easy & Quick Chocolate Mug Cake

60ml (4T)        Flour

30ml (2T)        Sugar

30ml (2T)        Cacao powder

2.5ml (½t)       Baking powder

1                      Egg

75ml (5T)        Milk

60ml (4T)        Oil

2.5ml (½t)       Vanilla essence

45ml (3T)        Choc chips

Pinch               Salt

Optional Tips

5                      Glazed Cherries, chopped

  

1. Grease a large coffee mug, must be microwave safe. TIP: It is best to use a mug that is narrower at the bottom and little wider at the top. The straight (sided) mugs tend to let it cook over the sides.
2. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
3. Pour into the greased coffee mug.
4. Microwave for 3 minutes at 1000Watts, for lower Watts extend the time.
5. Let cool for 2-3 minutes.
6. Tip out onto a plate.
7. You can add some topping; my favourite is Nutella or caramel. Some whipped cream or ice-cream with it is also very nice.

I hope you enjoy this quick and easy treat. I just love it.
