chocolate sweet tooth.

Found a recipe to harness the chocolate sweet tooth without making an entire cake!  Not bad and only takes a few minutes!
Here is the recipe as well as the link:
http://www.instructables.com/id/5-minute-Chocolate-Cake/?ALLSTEPS

Ingredients:

• coffee mug
• 4 tablespoons flour - make sure you measure it right - or the cake is a lie!
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
• 2 tablespoons whisked egg - 1 egg is too much, 1 egg white is too eggy, 1 yolk is too dense, but 2 tblsp is justright!
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
• splash vanilla or other flavoring - try peppermint or cinnamon

For a fudgier version, omit egg!


Directions:

• Add all of the dry ingredients to the mug and mix.
• Add the egg and combine well. It gets pretty pasty at the point.
• Stir in milk and oil.
• Add chocolate chips* and splash of vanilla. Stir well.
• Microwave for 3 mins in 1000 w oven and 4 mins in 700 w oven

I made a few adaptations to make mine a little more guilt free:

2 T applesauce and 1 T oil. omit egg since I like it fudgier and didn't want to measure it out.

I also added white chocolate chips instead of regular kind since that is what I had open.  Another important detail is that I used cake flour and so added a little more since the volume is a bit lighter.  The best part of this recipe is that there are so many variations and if it doesn't work out you can try it again.  It doesn't take long to make another!

Delicious!
