Easy Peasy

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could make a personal cake. A cake only meant for you to eat. That comes in a perfectly made portion size, that you do not have to share with anyone!? Well this is the recipe for you.

P.S. Did I mention you can also make it in 3 minutes in the microwave! Say hello to Cake in a Mug.

Ingredients:

• 4 Tbsp. cake flour
  • if you don't have cake flour, sift 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour and 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • other kinds of flour will work as well, but the cake will be heavier
• 4 Tbsp. granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp. cocoa
• 1 egg
• 3 Tbsp. milk (any kind)
• 3 Tbsp. oil (any kind but peanut)
• splash in a little vanilla

 Directions:

1. Grease the inside of the mug with cooking spray.
2. Measure and pour the dry ingredients into the mug. Stir ingredients with a spoon.
3. Crack the egg and add it to the mug. Stir well to get the egg incorporated in the dry ingredients.
4. Measure and pour the wet ingredients into the mug.
5. Stir and beat everything together to get a "cake batter" mix
6. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Timing may be different for various watt amounts.
7. Watch as the cake starts to rise while in the microwave.
8. Use a potholder or oven mitt to remove the mug from the microwave.
9. Garnish the cake with ice cream, whipped cream, glaze, syrup, or another topping of your choice.
10. Eat and enjoy!
