Honestly, we had guests over for dinner last night and something had to give in the prep work. It was all I could do to have the kids dressed, toys picked up, Christmas decorations in place (b/c my kids move them at least 4 times each hour), bathroom cleaned, a quick trip to the bank, table cleared off and cleaned...and well, I didn't even put makeup on! So, I thought I'd branch out and try this recipe that cooks in the microwave. As a general rule I don't try new recipes on first-time guests...but they are college students. And, well, college students will eat anything! It was a fun recipe and allows for a lot of customization: extra chocolate chips, pecans, candy pieces, etc.
Chocolate Cake in a Mug
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
2 or 3 Tbsp sugar (I went with 3)
1 Tbsp flour
3 Tbsp milk
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp egg whites
1/4 tsp vanilla
Goodies to mix in...choc chips, nuts, candies, etc.
Mix in a bowl for about 2 minutes- stirring vigorously! Pour into a mug, add any toppings, and microwave for 2 minutes.
***I sprayed Pam on some and not on some. Didn't make a difference.
***You may need to vary the cook time based on your microwave. If it cooks too long the cake gets rubbery.
