Instant Cake : Microwave Choco-Chip Cup cake

Nobody dislikes Cakes.. And for a person like me, who has a sweet tooth, its a wonderful thing to be able to eat cake without getting worried about those inflated love handles that much .. yeah , this dish may promise you this if you have it once in a while..  :)
 Sometimes, I just dont bring ingredients at home coz if I ll get them, I ll have them some time. Or atleast crave to have them. There is a saying I have heard : 
'' We don't get fat because we overeat, we overeat because we are getting fat '' .. Keeping this in mind, I try to avoid cooking those sinful tempting delicious (mmm !! ) desserts at home. And as am still not good at baking, I dont try cakes that much till we move in our new home. The new oven might suit my baking skills ... Gee !
But this time, again a  new craving was hitting my mind since the moment I read about this Instant cake on a website. I am not aware of the original recipe but a mix and match of the recipes I found over net. I tried this just a few minutes back and could not resist to post it immediately. All though its still not much of a guilt free sweet but still since its ready in 5 min ( and thats precisely what it takes ), so its worth it ...

Its easy, quick and its a CAKE !!..... c'mmon wat else would you put it in .. Lets just enjoy it as an instant sweet for those after dinner cravings over weekdays.. Lucky husbands .. Duhh !!

Ingredients:
1. 1/2 cup All purpose flour
2. 3 tsp butter ( I used flora Oil )
3. 1 Egg
4. 1/4 tsp Salt
5. 4 tsp Sugar
6. 1/2 cup Milk
7. 1/4 cup chocolate chips ( I cut down my dark chocolate bar )
8. 1 tsp vanilla essence
9. 1 tsp baking powder
10. 1 tsp flax seed powder ( Optional )

Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients expect Milk and Egg in a microwave safe mug and stir well.
2. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and mix in the bowl.
3. Add milk in the batter and mix it really well so that everything comes up together.
4. Keep in Microwave on high for around 4 minutes.
5. Cut into pieces while its warm and have it immediately. It gets hard after some times and you will have to reheat it if having later again.

Notes:
1. You can have it in a microwave safe bowl as well, if preparing for more people.
2. I have also tried it with carrots, though no pics taken that time. You can also add 1/2 cup of grated carrots into it to make it carrot cake .
3. Mix cocoa powder to make it chocolate cake. So easy and yummy !!
4. Its a feel good feeling to see the cake oozing out from the mug. Keep checking after 3 minutes in the microwave.
