Emergency Chocolate Cake

It was 9 pm on a Sunday night and all I could think about was cupcakes. How the craving started, I'm not sure. But it was here and it was strong. My stomach was telling me to go whip up a quick batch of cupcakes and satisfy my sweet tooth but my head was telling me that it was just a little too late for cupcakes (not to mention the cleanup). What's a girl to do?!

That's when you turn to Emergency Chocolate Cake. This quick and easy treat of fluffy-cake-goodness is just what I needed! And the best part? My only dishes to clean were the mug and fork.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp. cake flour (you can use all purpose flour too... I did!)


• 2 Tbsp. sugar


• 1/2 tsp. baking powder


• 2 tsp. cocoa powder


• pinch of salt


• 2 Tbsp. milk


• 1/2 tsp. vanilla


• 1 tsp. oil
  

Directions:

• Spray the inside of your mug with non-stick cooking spray


• Dump in all of the ingredients


• Stir together with a fork until well blended


• Microwave for 60 seconds


• Turn out onto a plate (or eat in the mug) and satisfy that cupcake craving!

Keep in mind that this isn't the same as sinking your teeth into a big piece of chocolate cake. But considering it takes less than two minutes, I think it's great! This could be a very, very dangerous discovery...
