Microwave your way to happiness

It seems to good to be true. Cake and brownies in under 5 mins from start to finish. Okay, under 5 mins, in the microwave... how good are they going to taste?? I had to try it. They actually are good! The brownie is on the left side of the picture and cake on the right. The brownie was a bit dry so i suggest not doing it the whole 2mins, specially if you like them gooey. The two recipes are very similar with the exception of an egg in the cake. Both recipes were found on ehow.com

Chocolate Cake in a Mug

You'll need:

Eat it stright from the mug or turn out onto a plate. Enjoy!
