Ever had a craving for cake, but making an entire one is too time consuming and buying a whole one goes to waste? How about a single-sized chocolate cake in your coffee mug! Instructables has a great recipe for this quick, easy and very tasty treat. It takes 2 minutes to prepare and 3 minutes to cook. Top it off with icing sugar or whipped cream. Enjoy!

I hate to be mean, guys, but for those of you who haven't had good luck with the recipe... you do know different microwaves have different wattages, right? :) Deena's advice about the salt is very good, but you also really need to experiment with the cooking time, guys. That's all it takes. (A little baking soda or baking powder helps too.)

I've tried this with a few modifications and it was GREAT!!!! Add a pinch of salt to the recipe. I also used chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Be sure and spray the mug with no stick spray and cut the time down to 2 minutes. It wasn't rubbery and very tasty!! I've also exchanged the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips!!! My husband and grandkids love it!!! I think the cooking time is the answer to a really good cake!!!!

Not bad. I cut down the calories by substituting plain applesauce in place of the oil. That saves ~350 calories.

I tried this a few months ago. It was gross! And no less time-consuming than making an actual cake.

Hm. With some modifications to get around the rubberiness, that would make a cute little gift cake for someone.
