How to Make 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Step-by-Step

1Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well
2Add the egg and mix thoroughly
3Pour in the milk and oil and mix well
4Add the chocolate chips ( if using) and your splash of vanilla essence and mix again
5Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will ride over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
