Chocolate Mug "Cake"

If you're expecting this beaut to have the consistency and taste of a cakie cake, you're a dolt.  It came from the microwave, and it has no baking soda, powder or anything else awesome one would expect.  But, if you're looking for a nice, moist, chocolate, hit the spot warm and cozy snack, it's perfect.
You need:
One large coffeemug
4 Tbsp. flour
4 Tbsp sugar
2 heaping Tbsp baking cocoa
1 egg
3 Tbsp. milk or fake milk product (I use almond or rice)
3 Tbsp oil
6 Tbsp semi-sweet or bitter chocolate chips
Splash of flavour (vanilla, orange, who cares)
2 Tbsp other (I used caramel bits, it could be nuts, or more chips, or whatever)

The chocolate chips are necessary, or you will be terribly disappointed with the taste. Feel free to play with adding more, less and other things to your liking.

Mix the dry ingredients together well in your mug.  Mix the wets with a whisk in a cereal bowl and then mix in well.  Mix in chips and goodies liberally. Place on plat in microwave for 4-5 minutes on high, depending on how hot your mic runs. Less if you like it gooey like a lava cake (2 1/2-3).  Break apart with spoon to mix the chips in better and enjoy!

Caution, it will be hot! You may need a potholder to get your mug out of the mic.
