Mug of Chocolate Cake
June 20, 2011
A couple nights ago my teenage daughter had a craving for chocolate cake. Although this sounded good to me too, we had one big obstacle in our way--no working oven. Our oven called it quits one week earlier and we had not replaced it yet.
The next day, with chocolate cake still on my mind, I looked up dessert recipes for the crock pot, microwave, grill, Nesco Roaster, anything that did not require baking it in an oven. To my surprise, I found A LOT of recipes out there using alternate cooking devices.
Eventually, I found a recipe for a one-minute microwaveable chocolate cake in a mug.
The recipe is simple, fast, and you can customize it any way you want. You just mix up the basic ingredients in a medium-sized coffee mug, microwave for one minute, top with whatever toots your horn and EAT!
The chocolate cake had excellent texture and flavor, although the chocolate impact was a bit too mild for my liking.
Instead of trying to figure out how to make the cake more chocolatey, I concentrated on the toppings and that took care of the problem! My daughter chose chocolate ice cream sprinkled with chocolate chips and I chose mint chocolate chip frozen yogurt. Both were absolutely outstanding choices, and we highly recommend them.
Needless to say, we completely satisfied our craving for chocolate cake.
Curious for more?? Make sure you come back to read Wednesday’s blog where I will reveal the recipe!
