A Single Gal in The City's Best Friend

I received this recipe from my aunt and immediately tried it. It was the perfect companion for an evening of Twilight saga reading and took care of that chocolate fix in minutes!

5 Min. Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar*
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
A pinch of baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil*
2-3 drops vanilla extract


Directions
1. In a large coffee mug, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
2. Add egg and mix into dry mixture.
3. Add oil, milk, and vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Bake in microwave on High (1000 watts) for 3 minutes.
5. Allow to cool a little and remove from the mug for serving.

* For a healthier alternative, replace the sugar with Splenda and replace the oil with applesauce.

FYI--I tried the recipe tonight with applesauce instead of oil and it's pretty good. It's a lot more moist and could probably use an extra 30 seconds in the microwave next time! But, still yummy!
