In honor of this sweet holiday Valentine's Day I wanted to give you a recipe I found that is great. Chocolate cake in 5 minutes. How great is that??
Make some now for your sweetie!
5 minute Chocolate Cake in a Cup!
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp flour
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 1 tsp baking powder (I used 1/2 tsp and it turned out fine)
- 1/2 tsp coffee powder (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp oil
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips or flakes plus 2 tablespoon extra (I omitted these)
- A small splash of vanilla extract
- Microwave safe coffee mugs
1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a big bowl.
2. Next, add in the milk, oil, vanilla extract, egg and mix well.
3. Pour mixture into mugs (at the halfway mark).
4. Microwave one mug at a time. Cook for 1 minute on medium heat. It will bubble and rise as it cooks, so make sure you provide ample room for that. Leave it for a few seconds, then microwave for another 30 seconds on medium again. The mixture will solidify, but still look a little molten. That is fine because it will continue cooking on residual heat. Overcook it and you get a chocolate rubber ball.
5. Allow to cool a little and start digging in. Of course, nothing is stopping you from embellishing your cake and eating it too!
Have your cake and eat it too!!
Enjoy with your Valentine! Have a sweet one,
Lori
