I know there is a recipe on here for the 5min mug cake but this is WAY better.
Mug Brownie. Ingredients: 4 Tablespoons Flour 4 Tablespoons Sugar 2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (Note: don't use cocoa mix or quik, it shouldn't have any sugar) 2 Tablepsoons Vegetable Oil (Don't use one with a strong flavor, eg olive, sesame, etc) 2 Tablespoons Water Dash of salt Mug Microwave Add the sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt to the mug and mix. Then add the oil and water and mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Be sure to be thorough, there's a tendency for clumps of the dry ingredients to form Microwave on high for roughly a minute. You may have to microwave it longer or shorter, depending on your microwave, but the brownie should still be wet in the center when done. -------------  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Ooh it looks lower in calories too, bonus! We under cook the 5min mug cake slightly so it's more like self-saucing pudding  ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

Dear god this concept has totally escaped my notice but what a great idea. I don't like baking cos then you have to eat the whole lot, but a mugs worth is perfect. It's on my list for tomorrow. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

DH tried this last night, didn't work at all, don't know what he did wrong, i was just like hot cake mix....
How many watts is your micro?? Ours is 1000w and he cooked it for 1.5mins. ------------- J - born 26th April 2008 and L - born 3rd Sept 2010 http://alterna-tickers.com">

DH cooked it last night too and all the oil bubbled to the top, so he tipped the oil out. Then later found out that it was too dry
We have 800w and DH cooked it for over 2 minutes. I think it would have been good if he had of let the oil soak back in and maybe cooked it slightly less. ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

mine is 1400w, did it for 1 min and it turned out purfect. It looks a bit runny when you get it out but it kinda sets a bit as it cools. and it should be all chewey like brownies and not like a cake. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Yum!
I can't do the normal mug cake, I've heard it described as tasting like "chocolate wetsuit", which I totally agree with!! ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

Ahaha, actually I agree with this too, which is one of the reasons we undercook it, then it's really yum! ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

I have done this twice in the past 24 hrs !  With the help of two young kids.
Mine turned out pretty much the same as it was before it was cooked but hot. Maybe I did not cook it long enough or did I? I don't know but it was yummo. I cant wait to try with some fresh cream while its still hot! Nice winter dessert.  -------------

I made it in full, cooked for one min (have a 1200w microwave), mixed it then redid it for another 20s, scraped it out into a bowl, let it sit for 5 mins then added cream... bliss in a bowl! Was a bit lumpy from being mixed, but I'd rather lumpy than tough on outside and raw in the middle ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

I wish I had a waffle maker. It was either that or the phil and teds metoo high chair thing from flybuys, didn't have enough points for both, so I got the highchair cos I thought it would get more use. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

With kids my waffle maker is making a huge come back :)
My tip for both this & especially the mug cake is to use Pams Cocoa, Cadbury's doesn't give the same chocolatey flavour, also with the cake add in bits of Peppermint Ghana chocolate...DEVINE ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

AnCs mum, I've discovered the same thing! Although the cheap brands of flour dont seem to work as well, pams cocoa is great!
I have a recipe for mug cake that works perfectly 4tbspn plain flour 2tbspn sugar 2tbspn cocoa mix together in mug add 1 egg, break the yolk, but dont mix yet 3tbspn milk 3tbspn oil 1/2 tspn vanilla essence mix all together and microwave on high for 1 min 45s (put a plate underneath JIC mug isnt quite big enough!) My microwave is a 1200 watt and this comes out perfectly light and fluffy (may need to microwave a little more or less depending on your wattage), great with icecream, wouldnt suggest using cream cos it soaks it up like a sponge! ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

No worries, but you might not thank me once you realise how easy it is to make and you probably always have the ingredients in the house -------------
