3 MINUTE CHOCOLATE CAKE IN A CUP

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a large mug and mix well.
• Microwave for 3 minutes.
• You will see cake rise, but it will fall when you take it out of the microwave. Microwave times may vary. If it looks done 15 or so seconds earlier, take it out.
• Eat, but be careful, it's HOT!

FIVE-MINUTE MUG CAKE

Steps:

• Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt.
• Add the egg, milk, and oil and mix thoroughly.
• If desired, add chocolate chips (coat with flour first) to the mixture.
• Coat the inside of a large mug with cooking spray. Pour the cake batter into the mug.
• "Bake" in the microwave on the highest power for 3 minutes, then let it sit in the microwave for another 2 minutes to set up.
• Dump the cake into a bowl or onto a plate and enjoy! Top with ice cream for a special treat.

1 MINUTE CAKE

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients. Add milk, vanilla extract and oil and until well blended. Spray a 10 to 12 ounce microwave-safe cup with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the cup.
• Microwave at full power for 1 minute. Depending upon the strength of your microwave and shape of your cup or container, you may need to cook the cake longer in 15 second increments until done.
• Microwave?!?! I can see some eyes rolling!
• Don't worry. As long as you don't overcook, it won't turn rubbery. Since it contains no eggs, you don't have to worry about salmonella with the short cooking time. Also, the cake will puff up so don't fill a very small container. It needs some room to rise.
• It's not a fancy cake but when you eat it warm with whipped cream, ice cream or a chocolate glaze, it tastes pretty good. It's great for when you're craving for something sweet but don't want the temptation of an entire cake in your house. Plus, it's super fast to make.
• This recipe is pretty versatile.
• -You can change the flavor of the cake by adding drops of various extracts: almond, mint, etc.
• -You can add chocolate chips, dollops of jam, mini candy bar, peanut butter cup, shredded coconut etc.
• -If you don't like chocolate and want to make a white cake, you can omit the cocoa and add an extra tsp of flour (to make up for some of the lost dry measurement), and candied ginger, various spices, citrus extracts or anything you like.
• -You can substitute the milk with different liquids.
