The Most Dangerous Cake

Make sure you ask your folks before you make this!!!
Here is the recipe that 5 hamsters asked for.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour (that's plain flour, not self-raising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) a small splash of vanilla extract
1 coffee mug

Put dry ingredients in mug, and mix well Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

Microwave for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the
top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT!
Note: This can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous.

And why is this cake the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any
time of the day or night!

Make sure you let me know if you tried the recipe. Did you like it? Did you add different things for to your cake?
