There are MUG CAKE HOW-TOs (like this one from WIRED) floating all over the web, but I figured my loyal readers (AKA my cat Baxshebo) would want the CLH seal of approval.
I made a yummy Mug Cake just this evening. Here's how:
*Spray a large-ish coffee mug with cooking spray
*Put the following in said mug:
-Nine (9) tablespoons of hot cocoa/hot chocolate mix
-Four (4) tablespoons of whole wheat flour
*Stir together.
*Crack an egg into the cocoa/flour mix and stir to mix.
*Add 3 tablespoons of canola oil and 3 tablespoons of water and stir well - make sure to scrape all of the dry mixture from the bottom and incorporate it into the batter.
*stir in half a handful of chocolate chips
*Microwave on high for three (3) minutes.
The cake will rise above the top of the mug before your eyes as it cooks. After the beep, carefully remove the cake-in-mug from the microwave (use a potholder - it will be hot) and dump the cake onto a plate.
Listen - this isn't about presentation. It's about having chocolate cake for stuffing down your gullet five minutes after your initial decision that you want chocolate cake. It tastes best hot and fresh!

This is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI impulse purchased a tiny microwave oven a few months ago which so far has been used to defrost chicken like twice, but I knew there was a REAL reason that I needed those zapping rays.
Also, you forgot your loyal readers Myrtle Anne and Scurvington Little Jeans.
