Among the things I would list as being “extremely dangerous” are the following: putting up a lynching display on your front stoop for Halloween if you live in the Bronx; attaching a raw steak to your underwear and running through the Everglades in your skivvies; handing your IRA over to Madoff for investment advice; and telling your wife that her new jeans make her look fat. But none of those seem as dangerous to me as the recipe I was sent about a week ago. Why? Because now, at any given moment, I can have warm chocolate cake within 5 minutes time. You may love me after I spread this knowledge around, but then again you may hate me. Chances are, you’ll do both, but I refuse to suffer alone.
The only special requirement here is a larger-than-average coffee mug. Do NOT try this in a standard sized mug or you will be licking the inside of your microwave clean in order to claim your chocolatey prize. Other than that, I’ll bet my non-existent savings account that you have everything you need to make this cake within arms reach. I call it the I-Need-Chocolate-Cuz-I’m-Pissed-I’m-Happy-I’m-Stressed-I’m-Horny-I’m-Indifferent Chocolate Cake. The recipe, as always, can be found in my Recipes section, but here are the basics:
Put all dry ingredients in you mug and stir. Put all wet ingredients in a small bowl, whisk together, add to mug, and stir again. Put in microwave. Heat for 3 min. on high (4 min. if your microwave is a wimpy relic like mine is). Take it out and serve. Sure you can fuss with it and add powdered sugar, ice cream, caramel, etc. Sure you can get creative and add chocolate chips, toffee chips or nuts to the mixture. Sure you can split it in half and share it with a loved one. But that’s for people that actually give a shit to do anything more than simply stick a warm piece of 
chocolate cake in their mouth. My only recommendation is that you use really good cocoa, not the garbage they sell at your local grocery store. Will it work in a pinch? Absolutely. Will it satisfy the craving? Probably. Will it be scrumptious? I doubt it.
Just think, you could pre-pack the dry ingredients in a Zip-Loc and the wet in some Tupperware, and bring it to work for a mid-afternoon snack! Imagine walking past the endless rows of cubicles filled with envious, burnt-coffee-sipping colleagues, wafting the aroma of fresh warm chocolate cake as you go. But 
that’s the kind of stunt that might get you axed in this day and age, so I’m entrusting you all with this extremely dangerous information. Use it at your discretion. Pass it on as you see fit. Or, destroy it after reading. The choice is yours.

god i love u katie marry me!!
hehehe
i had a recipe once for a microwave chocolate mayonnaise cake – it was seriously yummy and moist – bugger if i can find the recipe now
Nothing beats a marriage proposal for my ability to make a nukable chocolate cake 🙂
it is on condition of chocolate chips in the cake though – you honestly cant beat warm choccy cake with melting choccy chips in …. oh dear salivating on keyboard!
I think that Somebody needs to check if Linsey is alright… she may have hyperventilated in glee
and why can’t you put the fracking ingredients on the blog itself…make me have to go over to the recipes section…grumble, grumble
Is that too much to ask for… 🙂
INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla
and oil and mix well. Add the wet mixture to the mug and mix really well to eliminate lumps. Put
your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (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. This
can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous.
Because forcing people to go to the recipes section will allow them the chance to see what else is there in case they are newcomers ya lazy bastard! Not to mention that, if you ever need a recipe, you don’t have to hunt down the post I wrote about it….”uh, let’s see, what was that post where she wrote about caramelizing bacon for the cupcakes?” Bam, go to the recipes, you wanker!! 🙂
hehehe!
I watched Ina Garten making a chocolate mousse last nite – by the end and all the fuss later all i could think was “for heavens sake just melt some chocolate and mix with whipped egg whites lady”
still wanted some of hers though – with the cream and aalllllll!
and just a lil point – a technicality really – virtue and chocolate – really dont go together – lmfao
wheres my horns? 🙂
WANKER where did you get Wanker from ? …you’re of Cuban decent married to an Italian guy living in America… Now I know that Linsey proposed to you… I just didn’t know that you accepted… 🙂
NTTAWWT
It’s one of my favorites, Coupe…along with Tosser.
wonders if ‘wanker’ means the same in usa as in the uk along with ‘tosser’ of course
:):):)
I’m sure it does, Lin!
