Big Mo Kitchen: Cake in a Mug

July 19th, 2008 | Category: Big Mo Kitchen | by: dangina

When I diet, I read cook books. I know it sounds like self torture. However, I would like to think of it as being closer to what worldly traveling types do when they can’t travel….they research what exotic destination they might head to next. So, even though I won’t be allowing myself the decadent pleasure of making this entry from the Big Mo Kitchen, it feels right to pass it on to you.

The basic idea here is that sometimes you just want a about a mugs worth of cake. You don’t want to risk nullifying everything you’ve done at the gym earlier in the day, but you NEED some cake. We’ve all been there, right? So here’s a recipe for exactly one mugs worth of cake - made in a mug.

Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons cake flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
1 Mug

 Instructions:

  1. Mix flour, sugar and cocoa
  2. Spoon in 1 egg
  3. Pour in milk and oil, and mix well
  4. Put in microwave for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000watt)
  5. Wait until it stops rising and sets in the mug
  6. Tip contents out of mug onto saucer and enjoy

Thanks to Dizzy Dee for this great idea. I can’t wait for the day when the time is right for a celebratory cup o cake.

    Guess the idea of indulging in a couple of these isn’t going to be a good idea?

    I’m not sure what kind of diet you are on but if you need a little respite, try this… http://www.nopudge.com/

    Mix it with some yogurt and nuke it for a delicious treat. I used to enjoy it with a nice black cherry yogurt for a phenomenal treat. Sorry if you are lo-carbing it and I have only made it that much worse.

    um… so, it’s like, a cup cake…

    BTW, loving the pig pattern on the mug. Clearly, you either have a pig collection or have a pig theme happening throughout your home. Therefore, we all now know what to get you for Chrismakwanzuka! Let’s see… pig cookie jars, pig doilies, pig umbrella stands… wow, thanks for making shopping for you so much easier, Dangina!

    Dearest Backroom Tommy,

    You aren’t going to drag me into your pig pen. Not even with beautiful cookie jars and umbrella stands. :)

    Oh, after posting your pork mug for all the world to see… it’s like closing the pen gate after the pig is out. By next year, you’ll be up to your curly little tail in porcine porcelain!

    SO MANY TIMES!!
