4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk 
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) 
A small splash of vanilla extract

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.  Add the egg and mix thoroughly. 
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.. 
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. 
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. 
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! 
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT ! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

Apple Fritters

This is an adaptation I made that has been a big hit on numerous occasions! Here’s what you need:

• 4 red delicious apples
• 2 cans of croissants (pre-cut into triangles)
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions: (preheat oven to 375˚)
1. Core and cut apples into small pieces and cook them in a large saucepan with water and butter for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Slowly add white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon and mix well. Let simmer until apples start to get soft. (about 15 minutes on medium-high heat) Then take apple mixture off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
3. Unroll croissants onto a greased cookie sheet and put about 1 tablespoon of apple mixture in the middle of each triangle, then wrap the dough all around so no mixture is visible. Bake at 375˚ for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
