4.5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Tracey got this recipe from her mom and wanted to make it for her short-termers visiting from Sacramento and her house! Really quick and tasty; perfect for those inconveniently random chocolate cake cravings or for days when you're plain lazy or selfish. Must be served immediately—once cooled it’s just spongy and a little too firm.

4 T flour
3 T sugar
2 T cocoa powder
1 egg
3 T milk or water (milk is better but if you're desperate, you're desperate)
2 T oil
small splash of vanilla extract
3 T chocolate chips
Large coffee mug and a plate

Stir all together except the chocolate chips into the large mug. Sprinkle the chips on top. Place the cup on a plate or sauce and microwave on high for 2.5 minutes but experiment with your microwave. (In my microwave in Grace Garden, it only took 50 seconds.)
