I think I will begin this recipe with a word of caution... this one is Extremely Dangerous!!! only because how effortless it is to make... and when I say effortless, I really mean all the effort you will need, is to stir the ingredients with a whisk for a minute or so.
I usually like elaborate baking, but this is a recipe I turn to when I don't have enough patience even to pre-heat the oven but I still REALLY want to eat a chocolate cake.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips (I use Nestle)
3 tbsp Milk (I use 2% or Skim Milk)
3 tbsp All-purpose Flour
1/4 tsp Instant Coffee Granules
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/8 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
Method:
In a fairly large coffee mug, put the chocolate chips and add the milk to it. Microwave this for 30 seconds. Then whisk the chocolate and milk to a smooth texture. Now add the flour, coffee, vanilla and baking powder and whisk until mixed well. Then add the oil and mix that in. Put the mug back in the microwave for a minute. Insert a knife in the cake and if it comes out clean, your cake is done, if not put the mug back in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time till the cake is cooked. And that's it!!!
Let the cake stand for a minute or so and dig in! either with ice-cream, whipped cream, milk or as is!!!
