Your afternoon sweets craving solved!

Sometimes we need just a little dose of deliciousness, just a little taste of sweetness, something to ease the aching of our sweet tooth. Here is the answer - a cup of cake. Chocolate cake.

So without having to make an entire cake, wait an hour to eat it, and then end up eating too much of it, the solution is simple, very inexpensive and satisfying.

In a favorite 12 ounce microwave safe mug add the dry ingredients:

3 tablespoons of flour

3 tablespoons of sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/4 tsp baking powder

a pinch of salt

Mix well with a fork, then add:

3 tablespoons of milk

3 tablespoons of vegetable oil

a splash of vanilla

Blend until smooth and throw in a few spoonfuls of chocolate chips for good measure. Microwave for 90 seconds. Do not overcook or your cake will dry out. Let your mug sit and cool for 3 or 4 minutes in the microwave before you enjoy this happy one serving delight!

We can thank Ree Drummond for this recipe of happiness and sanity, and our friends at Guild Mortgage for the sweet mug!
