11:52pm and I am on my computer when I came across this recipe for 5 minute chocolate cake. Noo wayy...I said to myself, this I have to try!! 5 minutes later I'm in the kitchen grabbing flour, cocoa powder and other ingredients, thinking of how I can change the recipe. Instead of milk I used buttermilk and kahlua, unrefined rapadura sugar and threw in some chocolate chips and bing cherries leftover from my turnovers that I had pitted and froze. Three minutes in the microwave and dessert was ready! Okay, so maybe its not the same as a cake from the oven, but how else can you have cake when you only have 5 minutes to spare!? So fun, if my roomies woke up and came into the kitchen I might have looked like a crazy person I was so delighted with this recipe..haha! I'll definitely make this again. Everything is mixed right into the mug so there is no mess either!
5 Minute Chocolate Cherry Buttermilk Cake (Serves 1)
4 tbsp flour
3 tbsp unrefined sugar (or white sugar)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (I used the good stuff Valrhona)
pinch of salt

1 tbsp Kahlua (or just use 3 tbsp milk)
1 egg
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp chocolate chips
1 tbsp bing cherries (or other berries)
splash of vanilla
1 mug
1. Combine all dry ingredients in mug, add in buttermilk, oil, vanilla and egg and stir till combined. Fold in chocolate chips and cherries
2. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Serve warm and if available, with ice cream or whipped cream
