Microwave cake in a mug

Here's a recipe for a little cake you make in a coffee mug in the microwave. How cool is that?! Ok, so it's not quite as good as Betty Crocker (a little dry), but hey, at 2:00am who cares? It's kinda fun and only takes a few minutes. I already had all of the ingredients on hand.

3 Minute Microwave Cake

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract and your favorite liquour
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to your largest mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using), vanilla extract and a drop or two of your favorite liquor, then mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high).
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2)

Where did I get this recipe? Oddly enough, from someone in Spain that I just met online last night. The one thing I've really missed since I quit working is speaking Spanish. I found a website called www.sharedtalk.com (owned by Rosetta Stone) where people around the world can log on for free and chat with each other in whatever language they want to practice. So far I haven't met anyone creepy and they all have a common interest- learning languages and about other cultures. You can text chat or use a microphone and voice chat. I've really enjoyed it and have learned a lot...even how to make a cake in a mug.
