Chocolate cake in a mug

Ingredients
5 Tablespoons flour (all-purpose)
4 1/2 Tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa (unsweetened)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Dash of salt

1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons vegetable oil (or canola)
4 1/2 Tablespoons water 

Directions 
(step by step photos below)
Using a large microwave safe mug, spray the inside with non-stick cooking spray. Next, mix the first 5 dry ingredients in the mug.  After mixing well, make 3 depressions in dry ingredients.  Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other and the vegetable oil in third depression.  Pour water over top.  Mix well until smooth using a fork.  Place in microwave and cook on high for *2 minutes, uncovered. Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.  Be sure not to over cook!  Top with whatever you like - powdered sugar, frosting, chocolate chips, caramel or whipped cream! Enjoy hot or cold! 

TIPS:
*Each microwave cooks differently, adjust time accordingly!  One person made the cake in 1 minute 40 seconds, and another in 1 minute 20 seconds.  If you overcook the cake, it may ruin it.  Be sure to watch as it bakes.

This looks very dangerous. To know you can make a single serving cake in just a few minutes? Yikes.

It also looks fabulous. Did you know I used to make wacky cakes when you were kids? I love them.

Nice find.
