You'll need:

• 4 tablespoons flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 tsp dash vanilla
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt

Directions:
Prep Time: 1 min (2 if you’re going slow)
Baking Time: 3 min
Total Time: 4-5 mins

1. Put all ingredients in a large mug and mix well – make sure you scrape along the bottom and the corners for all the dry ingredients.
2. Microwave on 100% power for 3 minutes.
3. The cake will rise out of the cup (don’t worry, it shouldn’t spill over). If it looks done 15 or so seconds earlier, take it out.

5. Enjoy! Careful – it’s HOT
