Chocolate Cake-In-A-Mug

1 coffee mug

1/4 c. flour (plain, not self rising)
1/3 c. sugar
2 T. cocoa
1/4 t. salt (more or less)
1 egg
3 T. milk
3 T. oil
small splash of vanilla
3 T. chocolate chips, optional

Add dry ingredients to mug, mix well with a fork.

Add egg, milk, oil and vanilla, mix well. Add chocolate chips, if using. Put mug in microwave, and cook on 1000 watts for 2 minutes and 45 seconds. (3 minutes, cake will be dry).

Cake will rise over top of mug -- do not be alarmed! Allow to cool a little; tip onto a plate if desired. Eat!

(This can serve two if you want to feel slightly more virtuous.)
