We had a couple of days when our temperatures were too cold for the kids to go to school . We decided to have fun and make these microwave cakes. The kids loved making their very own cake. The cakes are a bit spongie. But, if you put frosting with them and serve them with ice cream, they're pretty good. It's a great family night activity. It also takes care of your craving for chocolate cake in a hurry. Here is the recipe if you want to try them.
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
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 extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). 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 feel slightly more virtuous).
