5 minute chocolate cake

I tried it and it really does only take five minutes and I had all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips).

I didn't have chocolate chips so used 3 chocolate stars instead.  It isn't very chocolaty without the chips or stars so I would definitely reccommend that addition and I would use more stars next time. 

The chocolate bits get very very hot and stay hot even after the cake has cooled --- warning to those with children.

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 (MicroSafe)

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.  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.
