Episode #10: 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake: A quick and easy, dangerously delicious treat that you probably already have all the ingredients for tucked away in your pantry. It's the perfect dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth, or if you have some cute trendy mugs...it'd be a great addition to your next dinner party!

Here's what you'll need:

4 tbs gluten free flour
4 tbs sugar
2 tbs cocoa power
1 egg
3 tbs milk
3 tbs oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
chocolate chips (optional)
Combine the flour, sugar and cocoa power in a large mug. Add the egg and mix together. Add milk, oil, vanilla and chocolate chips, if you so desire, and mix again. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Presto! Chocolate cake in a mug.

We tested this recipe with three different flours: gluten free all-purpose flour, Gluten Free Pantry's French Bread/Pizza Mix flour, and Bob's Red Mill Pancake Mix. Our favoirte was the pancake mix. It had a fluffly texture like normal cake and a great flavor. However, it expanded way more than the other flours in the microwave. We ended up with half the batter spilled across our microwave tray! So, if you use the pancake mix (which I definitely recommend!) split the batter evenly between two large mugs, and you'll avoid all the mess.

don't use a whole egg, just use 2 tablespoons of it... it would make it perfect!! and for the chocolate chips take 3 tablespoons... if you have a normal sized Hershey kiss just take 5-6 depending on how much you went it to be creamier (6) or not (5)... i recommend melting it in the mug before mixing it with any other thing...
