STOCKPILE COOKING: COFFEE CUP CHOCOLATE CAKE

This is a very fun recipe for the kids to do.  

Its so simple that my kids love to make this in the evening to have a fresh hot yummy desert!

In less then 5 minutes you have a personal size chocolate cake!

INGREDIENTS:

Small bowl

Large microwave-safe coffee mug

Fork or spoon

1/2 tbsp. vinegar

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tbsp. cocoa powder

1/8 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cinnamon, optional

1/4 cup water or milk ( I use coffee to make a mocha cake)

2 tbsp. oil

1/4 tsp. flavoring extract -- vanilla, almond or mint

1 to 2 tbsp. chocolate or white chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

• Mix the vinegar and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside. (don't worry, it will bubble)

• Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt and cinnamon into the coffee mug and stir together.

• Add the liquid, oil and flavoring extract to the mug, stir just until everything is incorporated.

• Mix the chocolate chips into the cake batter.
• Add the vinegar and baking soda mixture to the mug and fold into the batter.

• Microwave the mug at 60 percent power for two minutes. 

• Check the cake after two minutes; if the top appears shiny and jiggly, microwave another minute.
• Let the cake cool in the microwave for two minutes. 
• Dump the cake out onto a plate or eat it straight from the mug.
