Globs of Chocolate

Hmm . . . just found this mug cake adventure among my writing drafts . . . time to post . . . not sure when I wrote it . . .

Anthony and I had fun last night devouring a chocolate peanut butter mug cake he created. It was hilarious to watch it erupt and bake in the microwave. This time he did not put egg in it. We both liked it better without egg.

Lemonade Mug Cake!

Anthony created a delicious lemon mug cake for us last night. The late night dessert had a lime glaze on top, which was my favorite part. I thought the cake and glaze combination tasted like lemonade! Anthony commented that there was a lot of sugar in it. He was so sweet to make us a treat.

Daddy decided to make a family snack. He came up with his own microwave spice cake. For icing he used thawed leftover papaya frosting I had made on Valentine's Day. 

 

A Mug Full of Chocolate Cake

I was on Facebook checking out a giveaway on a friend's jewelry business page Purabellezza of Etsy when I ran across a recipe my friend shared on her page from someone else's blog. I immediately began following that second person's blog- livelovepasta.com, and I just made my first recipe off of it! Here is a link to the recipe I tried: http://livelovepasta.com/2011/05/nutella-mug-cake/. I altered a few ingredients to ones I had on hand:

4 Tb Aunt Jemima's Buttermilk Pancake Mix
4 Tb Granulated Sugar
3 Tb Cocoa
3 Tb Jiff Mocha Cappuccino Hazelnut Spread
3 Tb Entenmann's Hazelnut Coffee
3 Tb Oil
1 Egg

I stirred these all together in my mug with a fork and them zapped my cake batter for 3 minutes in the microwave. So fast. So good. So fresh & hot. It would be even more amazing with ice cream.
