# Chocolate Mug Cake

This is also not an original recipe. My friend taught me how to make these, and I don't know where she got it from.

## Ingredients

* Self raising flour
* Milk
* Cocoa powder/drinking chocolate powder
* Sugar (not really necessary if the chocolate powder you're using is sufficiently sweet, but recommended if using cocoa powder)
* Cream or ice cream (optional, to serve.)

## Method

In a microwave-safe mug, mix 2 tablespoons self raising flour, 2 tablespoons chocolate or cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon sugar (optional) into a batter.

For larger or smaller quantities, keep the above ratio (1:1:1) and adjust accordingly.

Microwave for 90 seconds and check. Resulting cake should be spongy and moist. If it's not fully set, microwave it for another 30 seconds.

I recommend serving with cold cream or a dollop of ice cream.

## Optional Additions

* You can throw in some chocolate chips or M&Ms before microwaving to kick it up a notch.
* Sometimes I make this with fancy salted caramel hot chocolate powder and it's really nice.
* When I really want something fancy and decadent, I'll make this in a bowl, and on top of the cake I'll add berries, ice cream, chocolate sauce, and a sprinkle of drinking chocolate.
