I was sent this recipe by a friend, tried it and found that it works. I have altered it slightly by adding more options and reducing the amount of sugar. I also used a pudding basin rather than a coffee mug, but I was using a big old-fashioned tablespoon and a simply huge egg.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE COFFEE MUG CAKE!!!

Most Dangerous Cake Recipe in the World
For those with minimal baking facilities/talents and a sweet tooth...

4 tablespoons SR flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips or mini marshmallows or nuts or berries etc. (optional)
A small splash of vanilla essence and/or Camp coffee (optional)
1 large coffee mug or other container (at least half a litre/one pint)

Put dry ingredients in 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 etc. (if using) and the vanilla/coffee essence, then mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). (Mine is 850w and it works fine)
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! (But not over the top of a basin)

Allow to cool a little, and turn out onto a plate if desired.

EAT! (this can serve up to 4 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
