For the Cake

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pour into your bowl or mug and microwave on high for 1 minute and 10 seconds. Test it with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. If not, put it back in for another 10 seconds. Try not to overcook it. If you're making 2 cakes out of this, start with 45 seconds per cake.
Mix the 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar with the cocoa powder then add a few drops of milk. add enough milk so the mixture is thin enough to drizzle over your cake. Drizzle away. Serve the cake warm.
