You guys, I wanted chocolate cake at 10 o’clock last night, when everything was closed and even if anything was open, really was I going to put on pants and go out into the weather? The answer is “holy crap, hell no.” I do not deal well with single digit temperatures; I deal especially poorly with single digits that have negative signs in front of them.
But look, look what I found! Chocolate cake in five minutes! For real! You just need stuff that probably you already have on hand. My eggs were kind of–not freshly laid, and instead of baking cocoa I had Penzey’s hint ‘o mint hot chocolate mix but I said heck, I’m going to live a little! I left out the additional sugar, used regular flour instead of cake flour, nuked the hell out of it in a Queen of Fucking Everything mug, and in the end, I had a cup full of chocolate cake.
It is not the Greatest Cake of All Time but it is cake, in a pinch, and it hit the spot so well with a glass of very cold milk. I am so glad to live in a future with five-minute cake.

The mug made it good. I bet if you did the exact same thing in another mug, it would not have turned out half as well. :)
