Crazy Cake in a mug..No eggs, milk and butter ..

Wow , wow wow ,,, a cake in a minute .. That is a savior for me . My daughter is 2 yrs old and everyday she wants to cut a cake , blow a candle and sing " Happy Birthday to You "..
Everyday , c'mon I can't make a cake everyday of my life ,,
I used to make a batch of cup cakes every Sunday and store them for the entire week ,,  Monday to Thursday I was OK giving them to her , bu t after that , I  think its too stale  and boring ,, the same set everyday ..
This crazy cake in a mug was awesome ,moist  & yummy .I loved it when it was all hot & fresh ,, I read about it in a leaflet & ever since I was waiting to try it ,,a few tries , a couple of ingredients here & there & its time its perfect , choc-lately  & smooth .
I just love the fact that it can be made in minutes  & you don't need great skills  and  also you don't need eggs , milk or butter like the caption says ...
This cake is sure to rise double or more the amount of batter you pour in , so be sure to take a mug large enough or pour small sections of batter in the cup .
On my first attempt , the cake almost overflowed  & overflowed & the cup was brimming full , so you better take a large large cup unless you want your microwave to taste the chocolate cake  too ..
Oh yes ,, you don't need the oven,let it rest   , the microwave will be the helper .

Flour ,Sugar & cocoa powder are the key ingredients whipped with oil , vinegar & water . That's it . These are some common stuffs always in the kitchen cupboards , so lets get started and finish it all in 5 mins ,, yes 5 minutes &  you will be back to your screen browsing again with the hot cake in your hands .. 


Ingredients:
Flour            : 5        tablespoons.
Sugar           : 4 1/2 tablespoons.
Baking Soda    : 1/4 tablespoon
Salt : A pinch
Cocoa Powder : 2 tablespoons.
Oil : 2 tablespoons.
Water:4 1/2 tablespoons.
Vanilla Essene : 1/4  tablespoon
Vinegar :   1/4 tablespoon


Directions:
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Now pour in the vanilla extract, vinegar & oil
Add the water
Whisk all of them together .
You will now have a batter of  flowy consistency.
Take a microwave safe mug or cup .
Spray with some cooking oil or butter it
Pout the batter in the cup
Microwave for 2 minutes .
Poke a fork to check if its done .
Depending upon your microwave power watts , it may cook faster in 1.30 mins , mine was 950 watt & it took 2 minutes .
Its ready  !! Its Hot !! Its moist .
Frost if desired or have it hot as is...
