It's family night, and that means Mum (me) is scrambling for good ideas again. I came across this recipe on the Tasty Kitchen website. Chocolate Cake in a Mug! Something everyone will eat and every kid can make.
Here's the recipe:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp. cocoa
3 tbsp. milk
3 tbsp. oil
3 tbsp. chocolate chips
1 dash vanilla.
Grease and flour a large mug (the biggest mug you can find, or split between two regular sized mugs.) Mix ingredients in bowl, pour into mug, microwave on high for three minutes, turn out on plate, top with ice cream or whip cream or whatever else you can find that goes well with chocolate cake, and enjoy!
I tested this cake this afternoon, and just as the microwave beeped, our cub leader rang the door bell, just in time to taste test the cake! We agreed it was pretty good for a three minute microwave recipe, the cake was nice and spongy, and the chocolate chips were scattered through the cake and were melted and runny, yum! A good activity for family night or cub night or whenever you really want a quick chocolate cake. Now, this is not going to replace molten lava cake, or black midnight chocolate cake, or any other truly superior cake recipe. But for what it is, it's pretty good stuff! Is it good to know that you can make a chocolate cake in three minutes, however.......only the scale will tell!
