Individual Chocolate Cakes

Individual Chocolate Cake
3 Tablespoons all-purpose (plain) flour
2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 Tablespoons granulated (white) sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
2 Tablespoons oil
2 Tablespoons milk

Grease one or two small pans or mugs.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the egg, oil, and milk, beat well. Spread batter in prepared pan(s) or mug(s). 

OVEN: If using metal baking pans, bake in the oven at 350F for 10-20 minutes, depending on pan size.
MICROWAVE: If using mugs, microwave on HIGH (100%) power for about three minutes. 
I made this recipe yesterday. It actually made two small cakes, which were still a pretty good size. I wanted to bake them in my cute little pans, so I used the oven and not the microwave. This recipe is a great way to make chocolate cake when you only want a small batch, or one cupcake, or just a small piece of cake. I made a teddy bear and a heart. To decorate them, I just used some candy coated chocolates and some nutella to make them stick, instead of mixing up some icing. I used two miniature chocolate chips for the teddy bear's eyes.
