Coffee Mug cupcake

I've had a number of requests in the comment section, as well as by email, for the recipe for the coffee mug cupcake! I guess we're all in the mood for a quick chocolate fix!!


Microwave Cake In A Coffee Mug

Ingredients

1 large coffee mug
4 tablespoons plain flour (do not use self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla
Chocolate syrup (optional)
Whipped topping (optional)
Cherries (optional)

Directions

Add dry ingredients to mug, & mix well .
Add egg & mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add chocolate chips (if using), vanilla, mix again.
Set mug in the microwave & cook for 2½ to 3 min at 1,000 watts.
Cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Some report that 2½ minutes works best. It depends upon your microwave. So, watch carefully to not over do it!
Remove from microwave.
Allow cake to cool a little, then tip out onto a plate, if desired.
Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with whipped topping and cherries, if desired!
This can serve 2 if you care to share!

Did you forget and use self-rising flour in yours when the top blew off? JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING?
It looks yummy!

You should have used my new Christmas cup. It must hold TWO cups of coffee. I like the looks of it, but I really don't need TWO cups of coffee in the morning.

ANYWAY, I am glad that you got that chocolate fix no matter if you had to scrape the sides of your microwave! I always hate it when something blows all over the microwave.

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! Talk to you tomorrow.
