Remember That Time I Said I Was Busy?

And you guys got all excited because you're busy too? And then I started posting and you thought, "Wait a tick, THIS SHIT TAKES 2 HOURS ... that girl is a lying bitch" ? Well, I'm sorry. This recipe though is quick. So quick you might not believe it at first.


Chocolate Cinnamon Ramekin Cakes
Adapted from eat.repeat.

3 tbsp butter
4 tbsp brown sugar
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
dash of vanilla extract
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
dash of salt
1/4 cup flour
chocolate chips

1. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe measuring cup or dish that can hold at least 2 cups.

2. Add sugar to butter and stir until combined. Beat egg in until combined as well.

3. Add vanilla, milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir until combined. Add flour, stir again. Add chocolate chips (about 1/4 cup or however many you like) and stir.

4. Divide batter between two small, microwave-safe vessels and microwave for about 1 minute, 45 seconds. Ta-fucking-da, kids. Cake.

Tips and Tricks
- I used fat-free milk for this because it's what I had around, but it likely would have been better to use at least 2%. Maybe even half-and-half.
- Use any kind of chips you like; I had mini semisweet and some white chocolate around so that's what went in. I'm sure peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, milk chocolate chips, etc etc would work well.
- Feel free to top this bitch with some vanilla ice cream.

Serving and Pricing info: This makes two cakes so depending on how hungry you are, that's one or two servings. I had everything I needed for this so it was free for me although it uses so little of so many staple ingredients that it should probably be free for you too.

How was it? Not the most amazing chocolate cake ever, but definitely great for the amount of time and effort it took.
