The most dangerous cake recipe


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
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to 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) and vanilla extract, and 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.

! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).


And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?

Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
You are going to print this out straight away, aren't you????

OK quiltincrazy, I am going to try this and get back to you!

Now, Buy a really pretty coffee cup, add all the dry ingredients to a baggie tied shut with a gorgeous ribbon and place this inside the cup, make a card with the wet ingredients and the rest of the recipe...and you have a wonderful gift.

Please let me know, Ninnie, bc I am going to tweak this recipe when I get ready to try it, and go for vanilla instead of chocolate. i love choc, but for medical reasons, can't have it anymore.

hey, that's a great idea...but of course you would know that! do you make cakes for other ppl, or just family? thanks for the tip :D

I used to make them for others as well as family, but I haven't for over a year. THings got really busy for me. If I get time to do something creative, I choose to be at my sewing machine. ;) I have one wedding cake under my belt. That's two if you count the one I made for a practice cake!

Yes, I think it will work for about any type of cake. I've never actually tried this, though! But wait....I think I've seen this recipe done with a certain amount (? many tbsp) of cake mix plus other ingredients, instead of making it "from scratch".

Miranda, I never took a cake dec. class, but my mom did, several years back, so I played around a bit with it, for kids.
Quilting, cake decorating, bet you draw too? I love to draw, but for some reason, I hardly ever do. Just for appliqueing and for grandbaby. My middle daughter made straight A's in art, all thru high school.
Think I have seen a recipe like this one, somewhere before. I really shouldn't eat cake, but thought others might enjoy it. It's a neat idea. :D

This is a great recipe! I've made it twice so far, hubby and I both like it, and we love that it only takes a couple of minutes.

How funny is that? a diet ad, on the page with a chocolate cake recipe. Who's telling who, what? :wink:

My DH is hanging over my shoulder, as I am printing this YUMMY recipe. He thinks we should make it tonight, but it is way to late. I am sure I will be trying this one out very soon!! Thank you for sharing.
:D :D :D :D :D

Use mugs that will hold 1 1/2 cups water (12 oz) for best results.
Makes 8 mug cakes.
Spray inside mugs with cooking spray.

Directions using a cake mix:
Blend 1 sm box instant pudding to any flavor cake mix.

thanks! auntluc, wish I had this info, when I first posted. :D :D :D

Yea, diet add AND cure your acid reflux at the same time lol

:lol:

You're welcome quiltncrazy...I tell myself I only had one serving of cake...this mug cake makes a pretty big serving. lol.

just what I need, lol...one really big serving!
wal mart makes these mini cakes, and I tell hubby, that is a one serving size...but we'll share :wink:

Did the vanilla work???? I can't ever have chocolate ever again either. So I'm trying to be good and find everything vanilla, lemon, strawberry--Hey did anyone try adding peppermint candies into the mix??

Weeellllllll, I only have microwave mugs that hold 22.2 ounces of liquid and they are the red ones for the soup I can never eat again [sigh lots of times] Will be trying this one out for certain. Wish I had powdered eggs as I have been told "never use eggs in the microwave", Only had my first micro since Christmas (2019) Friday. Trying to catch up. Was given the 3, 2, 1 cake and used it up completely. No I haven't made another bag of it Yet!!!

Opened this post because I thought this was a new exciting chocolate cake recipe. What a disappointment - a microwave mug cake that I tried some years ago, and never to be repeated.

that is one of the two classes my husband and I took together, cake decorating. the other was oil painting.
I made brownies yesterday so will wait awhile on this 'cake'.

My hubby says !!!!!!!! We tried one for dessert tonight after dinner. He couldn't eat it fast enough. Great recipe.

well, if you are looking for an ultimate chocolate cake, try Midnight Sin - I've been making it for a few years now and it's always a super favorite. Most of the time I skip the moose layer and bake it in a 9x13 pan instead of layers. Layer it with the ganache and it's so, so good!

Sounds wonderful--unfortunately I can never try it due to health...can never eat chocolate again nor beans, nuts, But I have learned how to make the 3, 2, 1 Microwave cake and love it. Works great as I'm alone now and I don't have to have a full cake sitting there tempting me to eat the whole thing--Never would do it but I hate frozen, thawed cake. ruins my frosting. Uses marshmallows.
