I found an awesome link over the weekend with instructions on how to make a single-serve chocolate cake in only five minutes using your microwave!
Five Minute Chocolate Cake
You’ll need:
4 Tablespoons cake flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
1 Mug
Instructions:
Mix flour, sugar and cocoa. Spoon in 1 egg and pour in milk and oil, and mix well. Put in microwave for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000watt) and wait until it stops rising and sets in the mug. Tip contents out of mug onto saucer and enjoy!
Make sure you use cake flour – all purpose tends to make it way too dense and thick. A few drops of real vanilla extract also gives it an authentic “cake taste!” Serve with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, and/or ice cream.

I read original recipe and all the comments. This is a british recipe and so the tablespoon is a british tablespoon (2 teaspoons) instead of american tablespoon (3 teaspoons). Be sure to make the adjustment. Also, be sure to use cake flour, no substitures or it will not turn out properly.
