Jan Doesn't Mean to be Evil - 5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

This was just sent to me by my friend & co-worker, Jan, who diabolically tried to tempt me to the dark side with chocolate and pretzels this afternoon. Now she sends this recipe. The "Most Dangerous Recipe In The World""





5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE



  • 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

  1. Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
  2. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
  3. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
  4. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
  5. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
  6. Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
  7. EAT! (This can serve 2 if you feel like sharing)

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!

Funky Chunky Applesauce

Once you have homemade applesauce, you'll never go back to that Mott's crap. It couldn't be easier. 10 minutes prep time.

  • 10 cooking apples (Granny Smith, Jonathan, Jonagold, etc). I think it's best to mix 'em up
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of cinnamon
  • 1/2 tablespoon nutmeg

  • Peel the apples and slice them into wedges.
  • Throw into crockpot
  • Throw other ingredients on top

Put lid on crockpot and cook for 2 hours on high. Stir. Apples should be falling apart. If not, cook another 30 minutes. Ideally, you want some of the apples to be still chunky and others to have turned into mush. When you get to ideal Funky Chunky phase, remove crock from heater, place in fridge to cool. That's it.

Notes: I don't really measure my cinnamon and nutmeg. I just sorta shake until it looks right.

This can be served cold, or eat it warm right from the crock.

To peel apples, I use the Apple Peeler and Corer and to slice into wedges I use a Stainless Steel Apple Slicer/Corer
