You need some cake, preferably chocolate, but you don’t have the time or inclination (or possibly the necessary skills) to spend the next 45 mins “baking” one.
You want it NOW, damnit!
Besides, you only want a slice, not a whole cake! What a waste to make one in a 22cm round tin! (Also, if you can get away with not sharing, that’s a bonus!)
Here it IS! Well, technically “Here they ARE!” … cake. In 5 minutes. In a MUG. All for YOU!
This e-book is by Real Mums for Real Mums, and I had a huge hand in creating it. By which I mean, I created it. With some imput and feedback from other Real Mums.
The concept in itself isn’t new. There’s been a recipe for a 5 Minute chocolate mug cake doing the email rounds for a while now.
Anyhoo, here it is:
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 extract1 large coffee mug
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 (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 feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
Meh. We tried it. It was pretty good actually. But … well, I personally needed more! As did some of my colleagues. After many, many trials and errors and weeks of eating several 5 minute mug cakes every day, we not only perfected this recipe and made it just that much better, but another six mug cake recipes were developed!
Hurrah! And there was much rejoicing and more eating of mug cake! You can own your own copy and get making awesome 5 minute mug cakes, right NOW!
We specifically used a Real Mums Escape MUG, which was just perfect for this particular experiment and ongoing desserts.
Here’s what is being said about them:
Mmm. Fluffy and lovely and yum! Jessica

Here’s some more of what is being said about them:
Was yummy! No floury aftertaste that comes with some puddings.Tash (a Mummy who is sufficiently stocked with Cointreau. But not eggs) about the Chocolate Orange MUG Cake)
That’s f***ing AWESOME! Kirsty(about the Coffee MUG Cake)
A combination of PMS and ‘wanker week’ at work has had me craving that soothing feeling of a warm and cozy chocolate hit. I needed cake, stat! But my days are long enough without standing around baking a cake for an hour. The “Chocolate Mud MUG cake” is heaven! OMG. It had everything I needed, cakey goodness, the calming effect of chocolate, a sniff of booze and it was quick and no fuss. Even DH enjoyed it and he doesn’t eat dessert. I served it with ice cream and my own microwave chocolate sauce recipe and I was in the salubrious heaven of a chocolate induced happiness coma. PMS? What PMS…. Chrystal
The MUG Cakes are super easy to make and require only a large coffee mug (again, we recommend MUG) an standard spoon you can find in most cutlery drawers (even your own) and a standard 1000 watt microwave, again found in most kitchens. Hopefully yours also.
So, if you’d like a quick and easy way to manage your PMS and fix all kinds of other problems at a cost of $9.97 and five minutes of your time, simply
The bestest bit EVER, though, is that they are SO SIMPLE to make that I make my kids make them for me all the time. Sometimes I even share them with my kids. Or tell them to make their own damn MUG cake, and sit back and eat one all to myself. Being seven of them, there’s loads of variety.
The kids have even commented … see:
