This is totally un-wedding, un-work, and un-photography related.  But I just had to share this recipe that my step-mom passed along to me… whoever thought this one up is a complete and utter genius.  I know it’s still feeling like summer outside (and man I hope that lasts!!!), but this looks like a great little recipe to keep in mind the next time it rains and you’re totally craving some comfort sweets with your honey!

5  MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

1 Coffee Mug
4 tablespoons flour(that’s plain flour, not self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) some nuts (optional)
Small splash of vanilla

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, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high.
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. EAT!
(this can serve 2 if you want to share!)
