Dangerous Chocolate Cake

I got this as an email. It looks and sounds easy and divine, thought I would share it will you all.

This is really good. It is really quick to put together too. Use a fairly large mug. Almost everyone has the ingredients in their cupboard.

DANGEROUS CHOCOLATE CAKE~ IN ~ A ~ MUG

1 coffee mug
4 Tbsp. cake flour (plain, not self-rising)
4 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa
1 egg
3 Tbsp. milk
3 Tbsp. oil
Small splash of vanilla
3 Tbsp. chocolate chips, optional

Add dry ingredients to mug, mix well with a fork.
Add egg, mix thoroughly.
Pour in milk and oil and vanilla, mix well.
Add chips, if using.
Put mug in microwave, and cook for three minutes on 1000 watts.
Cake will rise over top of mug--do not be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little; tip onto a plate if desired.
Eat!

***And WHY is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only five minutes away from chocolate cake any time of the day or night!!!*** late-night cravings; ha, ha! add some drizzles of chocolate syrup and some Cool Whip . You could add canned frosting, too.
The batter does rise up 'way over the top of the mug, but doesn't run down the side. Fun to watch! Be careful not to overcook--some microwaves are higher than 1000 watts, and three minutes is a dab too long--dries the cakes out a little bit. Anyway, give it a try! And be sure to watch it the whole time it's baking in the microwave!!!
