Mug Cake Recipe

Hey internet!
Moving is hard, but hey, when all you have is a few mugs and some left over pantry ingredients, why not indulge a little bit. Let's do it.

This is for one serving, kids. Remember, one serving = one mug. Let's make it a large one. 16 oz to be safe, 8 if you're not afraid of possible overflow.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup All Purpose Flour (you can use self rising if you wish, just be aware it will rise more during the microwaving process)

3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (or more, depending on your desired level of chocolateyness)

1/4 Teaspoon baking soda

2 Tablespoons granulated white sugar

1/8 Teaspoon salt

1/4 cup milk (be generous with this, a little bit more means all the moister)

2 Tablespoons oil (any type will do)

1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract

(optional: a handful of chocolate chips or a tablespoon of your favorite jam or jelly)

Directions:
Mix all of your dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Add your wet ingredients one by one. Remember, sugar is a wet ingredient!
 Make sure to get rid of all of the lumps. No one wants a mouth full of baking soda and flour.
 Pour your newly made batter into your mug.
Now would be the time to add your optional ingredients.
 Microwave that sucker for 60+ seconds.  Each and every microwave is different, just microwave until the batter has firmed up.

Go crazy with your optional ingredients and try making your own version. Best of luck with all the mug cake you can eat!

Happy Cooking~
