Cake in a mug

I don't really like cake. Or cupcakes, to tell you the truth. I mean, I like them, but I wouldn't want to hang out with them. Because, here's the thing - if you want to hang out with Slice of Cake, you have to hang out with all of his friends. 

And if you want one cupcake, you have to either pay $4.00 for one, or you have to find 23 friends with which to share the batch of cupcakes you just wasted your afternoon making.

So imagine my profound joy at finding a recipe that will, within five minutes of me deciding I want a confection, yield exactly one delicious serving of cake. 

Want to know how? Here you go:

1. Grab a mug.

2. Put two packets of cocoa mix and two tablespoons of flour into the mug.

3. Add three tablespoons each oil and water into the mug.

4. Put one egg and a dash of vanilla into the mug.

5. Mix that junk up.

6. Put the whole thing into the microwave for 3 minutes.

7. NOMMMM

If you want to be fancy about it, you can oil the mug before you mix everything into it; then, when you take it out of the microwave, you can run a knife around the inside of the mug and dump it out onto a plate and put some frosting on there, or ice cream, or whatever. Follow your heart, etc.
