Recipe: super quick chocolate cake

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: You make super quick chocolate cake like this.

All nice and well, red velvet cake, cheesecake or macarons for the advanced among us. At least, when you feel like unpacking and have at least an hour to spare. But sometimes you just want to sit on the couch in five minutes with something that is decadent and deliciously chocolatey.

Enter: the ‘mug’ cake. That is nothing more than a cake that you make in a mug, and let's be honest: something you make in such a humble coffee mug can't be complicated, right? That's right! You can whip up this recipe from Half Baked Harvest in five minutes. Or ping it, because you make it nice and quick in the microwave. Tip: make sure you have a small leftover of coffee on hand, a tablespoon is enough.

Here's how to make the quick (but super delicious) coffee mug chocolate cake

• Melt the coconut oil in a microwave-safe large mug or cup.
• Whisk in the egg with the milk, vanilla, and honey.
• Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt and stir until everything is just mixed.
• Pour the spoonful of coffee in the middle and stir gently, but not until it's completely absorbed.
• Place the chocolate chips in the middle.
• Microwave for 1 minute and 45 seconds on the highest setting; your microwave may take 2 minutes or a few seconds longer, so keep an eye on it.
• Eat or serve immediately and definitely add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
