Monday Brightener

My friend Karyl works in an office. I have a feeling she works pretty hard and like many, mondays seem a little bleak and the mountainous workweek sits between you and the next fun-filled weekend. When she sent this to me, I thought about all those people who could use a little smile on a monday, maybe every monday. Sometimes, just knowing you can have dessert on a monday on a break is a day brightener. Some of you will try this recipe.
I probably won't because there are some things so deliciously decadent, I choose to forget about them and this is one of them...It sounds like Office crack and I just don't want to get started... I've already considered the ways to make spice cake, carrot cake and (see why I won't try it?)
Let me know if you try this what you thought of it and if it was really as easy as it says.
Anyone out there planning to try this with Splenda??

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

1 Coffee Mug4 tablespoons flour (that's plain flour, not self-rising)4 tablespoons sugar2 tablespoons baking cocoa1 egg3 tablespoons milk3 tablespoons oil3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) Small splash of vanilla Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again.Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!)

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
