This was sent to me by my friend Jayne. Not sure where she got it and I'm not a cake eater but this sounds interesting (and is so not in line with my earlier post today about helping to feed the hungry but what is life without contradictions?)
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 LARGE coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to 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.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). 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! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this 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!
Let me know if you try it and how it turns out!

Pledge to End Hunger
How Does It Work?
This website is designed to shine a bright light on the very real problem of childhood hunger in America by asking you to pledge to be a part of the solution. For each pledge made via the online form, Tyson will donate 35 lbs of food product (the equivalent of 140 servings). It’s really easy. You can choose to share this website with others, volunteer your service, and/or donate to Share Our Strength.
If the goal of 1,000 people taking the online pledge is reached, a semi-trailer filled with 140,000 meals will arrive at the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas in Austin during the SXSW ’09 Interactive Festival. Can you help spread the word?
