Mug Cake

I was always looking to make a small serving brownie that can be presented nicely and tasted great. During the winter, it is a great warm snack after school. It's a very simple recipe, with minimal amount of  ingredients and clean up. There are many different kinds of mug cakes out there, but I like this one the best.

Ingredients:

• 1 large mug *microwave safe*
• 2 tbsp self raising flour
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 tbsp cocoa
• 1 tsp instant coffee power (optional)
• 1 small egg
• 1 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil (or vegetable oil)
• 3 chocolate chips

Steps:

1. get the large mug
2. put all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa, and coffee powder) in the mug and mix it all together
3. crack the 1 egg into the mug, and mix well with fork
4. add the milk, oil, and a couple chocolate chips if you want
5. put the mug in the microwave and let it bake for 2 1/2 minutes on full power
6. watch the mug while in the microwave to prevent it from spilling over 
7. after its done in the microwave, let it sit for 1 minute before serving or eating

My sister would always ask me to make brownies for her all the time, and I would never do it because the process and cleaning was never my favorite thing to do. Instead, l looked up for a small brownie cake to make. I tried many recipes, and there was a lot of trial and error  to find the right one. This was the easiest way out to make my sister happy, and to utilize my time wisely.
