The 10-Minute S'mores Cake

     This is another fast and easy single-serve cake recipe that anybody should be able to make from scratch with minimal effort. It's a spin-off of the 5-minute mini cake that I made on July 4th. In fact, it's the same recipe, just with more stuff added in. It takes just a little bit longer to prepare, but it's definitely a step up. So if you like s'mores, chocolate cake, and  ridiculously simple recipes, try this!

INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons flour
a pinch of baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs (1 whole graham cracker)
3 tablespoons butter
2/3 of a Hershey bar
4 large marshmallows 

DIRECTIONS:
1. Put the graham cracker crumbs and 1/2 tablespoon of the butter into the bottom of a large microwave mug and microwave for 45 seconds to melt the butter. Then use a spoon to stir and press it into a crust.

2. In another small bowl, microwave the rest of the butter with the chocolate to melt it and set aside.
3. In a different bowl, stir the first 7 ingredients together. Mix well, then stir in the melted butter and chocolate.
4. Pour half of the batter into the mug on top of the crust. Then, place 2 large marshmallows on top. Next, pour the rest of the batter on top and microwave for approximately 1 1/2 minutes. If your mug isn't super tall, the marshmallows may want to spill over the top as they cook, so place the mug on top of a plate to be safe.
5. After 1 1/2 minutes, add 2 more marshmallows to the top and microwave for another 30 seconds.

The marshmallows will obviously make the top seem really gooey, but it's amazing how evenly the cake cooks in a ceramic mug. Like a regular s'more, this can be pretty messy to eat, but that's what makes it great! Enjoy!
