The Most Dangerous Cake Recipe

Have you ever had a hankering for a piece of chocolate cake, but did not want to make a big cake? Just wanted a slice or two? I had to try this for myself. The photo shows the one I made this Sunday morning. Tell me, though, at higher altitudes does it call for more liquids and less oil? OR ... is it the other way around?

This Mug of Chocolate Cake is for you if you are in need of a chocolate cake fix! A Southern Oklahoma historian had this in his Newsletter (This & That) a couple of weeks ago. I asked if I could share it with you all this week.

Butch says, "Sure! Put it in your ezine. A lady on B Street SE here in Ardmore sent it to me last week."

The most dangerous cake recipe
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar (decrease by a Tbsp for higher altitudes)
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk (increase extra Tbsp for higher altitudes)
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (melted, optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and 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 (high). 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!
