Five-Minute Chocolate Cake

So for all you girls out there, I know that you , like me, often get chocolate cravings. Mine are constant and I'm always wanting a nice big hunk of chocolate cake with some fudge on top. Mmmmm. That is the best. So when a friend of mine gave me a recipe for a chocolate cake in a cup that only takes five minutes to make I had a field day. It is so delicious and if you make it right it is so moist.

(A picture of my cake in a cup and some yummy syrup for on top.

Yes, this is my own picture.)

Now the recipe says that it is optional to add the syrup on top. I tried it first with out and while it was good, it was definitely missing something. So I got into our fridge and dug around and viola! Smucker's Chocolate Sundae Syrup. I drizzled some over top and Oh! it was the icing on the cake (pun intended even if it was cheesy). Also, I recommend making it with normal sized chocolate chips not the mini ones. I made it with the minis the first time and it turned out rather dry but when i used normal sized ones it was quite moist. Make sure the mug you are using is microwave safe and it won't blow up in any one's faces or have gold paint start a fire or anything like that. I do not take any responsibility for any kitchen accidents, not that they are likely. One last thing. The amount of cake the recipe produces can be quite a lot so don't eat it when you are too full. Enjoy!

My Inspiration

So i know it's been a while since i posted, but I've gotten caught up with a bunch of work to do and haven't had much time to bake. However I thought I'd give you a little insight into my inspiration for baking. I am not much into anime or manga as some people are but there is one show that I absolutely love. It is a show called Yumeiro Patissiere. It is a wonderful show about a young girl going off to culinary school without any prior training and being put with the best kids in the school.  She must learn to make friends and hone in her talent. Through this show comes my love for baking. One thing she is always saying is that you have to put happiness into the food. And I've noticed that this is true. Your food will most definitely taste better if you put the joy of baking into it instead of doing it grudgingly. Here is the theme song and a link to watch the show. Just try it, even if you don't like anime. Don't forget to add happiness, love, and joy to your food!
