Mr. Shuffler and I usually made pancakes on Mardi Gras. Unfortunately, he wasn’t around this year and I felt like having salad for dinner instead. However, I did not want to be entirely left out of the orgy of poor eating before Lent. So I whipped up this little treat. There are a lot of recipes out there but I was drawn to this one because the author claimed to have evaluated eight different mug cake recipes before settling on this one.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons whisked egg (I used 2 tbsp egg whites)
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips
splash vanilla or other flavoring – try peppermint or cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Add all of the dry ingredients to the mug and mix.
2. Add the egg and combine well. It gets pretty pasty at the point.
3. Stir in milk and oil.
4. Add chocolate chips* and splash of vanilla. Stir well.
5. Microwave for 3 minutes in a 1000w oven, or 4 minutes in a 700w oven.
