Bailey's Mug Cake

Last night I needed just a little something sweet, and if you know me, you know that if I have lots of cupcakes around I tend to eat more than just a "little something sweet"!  This recipe is fantastic when you're cooking for just one (or two if you want to share!)

5 1/2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
3 Tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream (any brand will do)
3 Tablespoons oil

Combine all ingredients into oversized mug.  Stir with a small whisk or fork until batter is smooth. 

Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.  If cake is not done, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.  Serve warm.  Enjoy!

** Do not make the mistake I made.  This looks wet on top so I microwaved it for an additional 60 seconds.  Definitely DO NOT do more than the 30 additional seconds if it's not done!

This cake needs no frosting as the Irish Cream flavor comes through nicely.  However, a dollop of whipped cream creates a nice hot/cold combination!  Yummm.
