This is copied direct from the recipe as written on the Crafty Natter forum. Ozzie and I shared it and he couldnt finish his and I must be honest and admit I struggled though it was delicious. I think it would be better shared with two or three others. Also I made mine in a small pudding basin as all the pictures I have seen done in mugs its gone over the top (I didn't want to waste any). The other thing I would say is it does need cream, ice cream, custard or such as like most chocolate cakes it was a little on the dry side.
One other thing - I was warned that the cooking time seemed to be too long, my microwave is only a 700 watt and 3 mins seemed just right.
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons cake flour(that's plain flour, not self-raising) 4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons baking cocoa 1 egg 3 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons oil 3 tablespoons chocolate chips(optional) a small splash of vanilla essence 1 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 essence, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. 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!

Yummmm! I think I could use with a little more danger in my life, lol!
Wow that looks tasty. It also seems so easy to make that I could even do it. :D
Well, I couldn't resist! Yep, I made one! The texture was not like a "normal" cake, but it sure had a nice chocolate flavor, and was moist like a brownie. I added a few chopped pecans...good! Now I see what you mean by dangerous! LOL
That cake looks yummy! I'm thinking about blowing my diet and giving it a try. Oh..it just looks so good.
Happy birthday! Sorry for being so late with it! Happy happy happy birthday!

Ah that sounds delicious and me going to Weight Watchers - help!!! I am going to try it for the famiy though. I love your Quiltmaker and your wonderful progress. She is beautiful. I only recently started reading your blog and I must tell you how much I enjoy it. You have a lovely way of telling a story and it is always such a delight to read what you are up to.
That looks great, but calling it "Dangerous Cake" makes me think of Brainiac and Vic Reeves going "whatever you do, don't accidently let three sticks of dynamite and a string of fairy lights slip into the microwave at the same time"
PS. Your word verification thingy just made me type in "hupeluja", do you think it tried the cake?
That does look yummy!!
