1 Minute Chocolate Cake in a Mug

• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon PLUS 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon oil

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa in a small bowl.  Then add milk, vanilla, and oil, mixing well.  Spray a microwave-safe medium-sized coffee mug with cooking spray.  Then pour the batter into the cup.  (The cake will rise a little so don't fill a small mug to the very top.)

Put the cup in the microwave oven at full power for 1 minute.  The cake is done when the middle springs back after a light touch with your finger. (Depending upon the strength of your oven, you may need to cook the cake longer.  Try 15 second increments if needed, but don't overcook or it will turn out rubbery.)
