Like we need more sugar

Alright, I will admit that posting a dessert recipe on Hallowe'en seems a bit much. I cannot resist, however, and this is SO easy and SO good that I'm almost tempted to whip one up tonight to savour without little chocolate beggars hanging off of me!

This came to my mom via email, so I can't reference the source, but it's delish...

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

In a LARGE coffee mug, mix:

4 tbsp flour

4 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp cocoa powder

Beat one egg, add it to the mug and mix well.

Add the following to the mug and mix well:

3 tbsp milk (soy works fine, too)

3 tbsp oil

3 tbsp chocolate chips (totally optional!)

1 small splash of vanilla

Now put the mug in the microwave, uncovered, and zap on high for 3 minutes.

If it puffs over the top, don't worry...just let it do it's thing.

Let it cool slightly, tip out onto a plate and share if you like.

Here, in all its glory, is my first attempt. I see a spooky face in there, don't you?
