A useful email forward...

This is from my friend Jeanine. Dude, I am so trying this. As soon as I buy cocoa. And chocolate chips. New eggs might be a good idea too...Can you tell I don't cook much? :)
 
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
 
  
4 tbsp. flour
 4 tbsps. sugar
 2 tbsps. cocoa
 1 egg
 3 tbsps. milk
 3 tbsps. oil
 3 tbps. chocolate chips (optional)
 A small splash of vanilla extract
 1 large coffee mug
 
 Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg & mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil & 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. 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!

Tell me how it is. I think I'm going to give in and join Jenny Craig this weekend (sigh).

Not that good, unfortunately. I think it needs more sugar or something. It wasn't sweet enough. If we try it again, we may use the liquid chocolate packets instead of melting chocolate chips. Also it's a b*tch to clean out of the mugs when you're done! :)
