    Title: Chile-Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake
    Categories: Cakes, Snacks, Chocolate, Chilies
    Yield: 1 Serving

    4 tb (45 g) self raising flour
    4 tb (55 g) caster sugar
    2 tb (17 g) cocoa powder
    1 lg Egg
    3 tb (43 ml) milk
    3 tb (25 ml) sunflower oil
    3 tb Chocolate chips
    sm Dash of vanilla extract
    lg Pinch of dried chile *

    * You could use ground chile powder or replace the choc
    chips with chile chocolate. You could also use more or
    less chile depending on your tastebuds.

    Add dry ingredients (including chile) to a large coffee
    mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly Add
    the milk and oil - mix well (don't forget the corners /
    edges of the mug). Add the chocolate chips (if using)
    and vanilla extract, and mix again Put your mug in the
    microwave and cook for 3 minutes (in an 800 watt
    microwave).

    The cake will rise above the top of the mug, but don't
    worry it's supposed to! Allow to cool a little, tip out
    onto a plate.

    EAT and enjoy - this can serve two - it's a huge portion
    for one!
