Individual microwave brownie-cake in a cup

Dry

2 Tablespoons cocoa

2 Tablespoons flour

3 Tablespoons sugar

Smidgen salt

Wet

2 Tablespoons water

2 Tablespoons oil

2 drops Vanilla

Pinch instant coffee (optional)

Combine dry ingredients in a cup and slowly mix with water until smooth and free of lumps. Add oil and flavourings and blend until combined and smooth.

Microwave 60-90secs.  Serve immediately.

*I prefer bitter chocolate and so use 2 Tablespoon of sugar instead of the 3.  I reduce the time to 65-secs on my microwave.  However, when I am making this for company that likes things sweet, I use the full 3 Tablespoons of sugar in the recipe and increase the time to 90-secs (because sugar adds moisture).  Each microwave is different, so do a test batch first. 

Awesome!

just be careful of overcooking them or they'll turn into burnt little hockey pucks stuck to the bottom of a mug 

The recipe above makes a very moist dense but soft cake, but if you like some rise, add 1/4 - 1/2 baking soda to the mixture.  Again, this will affect the cooking time.

Variations I like:

adding orange/peppermint oil as flavouring.  & of course pushing a hershey's chocolate kiss into the mixture to create an even gooier treat  

Enjoy!
