Quick Cake in a Mug

So Podi-Peré and Lady Shwij came to visit me at my Crib of Awesomeness (yes, it's a real place. One at a time ladies, please!). Well technically they came to visit Schmelly my dog. Whatever! still counts. That Lady Shwij is such a useless bugger (lady), she's been 'trying' to visit for the last 2 months and finally ran out of excuses. Anyway, cooked a Lankan meal: Rice, Pol Roti, Chili Chicken, Dahl, and Vambatu, the lot. Stuffed our selves, gossiped like school girls, stalked like loners and laughed at Youtube clips, then craved some dessert. So Lady Shwij had the brilliant idea of making Cake-in-a-Mug. It literally takes like 5 minutes to whip it up. 3 minutes to mix the stuff 'thoroughly' under Lady Shwij's bossy supervision and then 2 minutes to microwave and 0 minutes to eat it. It was good, we may have put a bit too much peppermint and we were all rolling around with a chocolate food baby afterwards, but what-evs, twas still good. 

Your Challenge:  whip up a couple-a Mug Cakes instead of Cupcakes.

 

 

Ready---Steady---Microwave!

Quick Cake in a Mug

(serves 2)

INGREDIENTS:

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons oil
1 dash vanilla
1 dash salt (optional)
1 dash baking powder (optional)

1 dash of mint essence (optional)

METHOD:

1. Put all ingredients in a large mug and mix well.
2. Separate batter in to 2 microwavable mugs

3. Microwave for 3 minutes.
4. You will see cake rise, but it will fall when you take it out of the microwave. Microwave times may vary. If it looks done 15 or so seconds earlier, take it out.
5. Serve with some ice cream or whipped cream.

Note: We used a gigantic mug and doubled the quantities. Don't fill the mug right to the top with batter, because it will overflow and make a huge mess like our one.

Challenge Accepted???

Enjoy!
