cup cake- not at all

One morning (well, afternoon) last week I woke up with the strong craving of cake.  However, my father would be devestated if we turned the oven on in 90degree weather and I didn't want to eat the whole thing.  Instead, I found this wonderful recipe for cake in a cup, a cup cake!

Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons cake flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
1 Mug

Mix flour, sugar and cocoa:

Spoon in 1 egg

Pour in milk and oil, and mix well

Put in microwave for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000watt)

Wait until it stops rising and sets in the mug

Tip contents out of mug onto saucer and enjoy!

My cake toppled over in the microwave (luckily I cleaned it out before my mother saw) but it was still very delicious.  It was exceptionally dark and heavy, but that's just the way I like it (not to mention adjustable with the amount of cocoa powder and flour).  I actually didn't have any cake flour so I substituted with regular flour and I think that's why it was so heavy.  But fantastic none the less.

Rich, dark, decadent (just like I like my men :] ), and enough for one.
This definitely rates: 5/5
