There are times when I crave a good dessert. The problem is, we shouldn't have them in the house and buying a whole box of cookies means eat them, or they go stale. You see the problem here. So we try and limit the cookie buying/making and brownie making to when guests come over(which is almost never). If we go out, chances are, if they have a good dessert, I will get it! Creme brûlée forget it-
GAME OVER! The thing about getting a dessert when you are out is that chances are it won't make it home, or if it does there usually isn't 1)enough to share 2) enough for more than one night thankfully!
However, as I was cruising around pinterest the other day(or just this morning) I stumbled across someone mentioning this "mug cake" idea....so I pinterested that baby and so many things popped up and I of course had to repin many of them to my pinterest.
I mean....don't y'all have these ingredients laying around? Oops forgot to include the cocoa powder....
I present to you my Chocolate Mug Cake- no milk, butter, or eggs...it's pretty ingenious and they are all ingredients I have lying around at all times (because I do love to bake!). The best part....other than the easiness is that it is a single serving!
WIN!
Next time I will mix the ingredients in a separate container- doing it all in the mug allowed less clean up, but I still wasn't able to mix everything and so therefore, there was still some unmixed flour in the bottom.
I'm not sure why you are supposed to form these three
"wells" in which you pour the oil, vinegar and vanilla
I added some semisweet chocolate chips that I had, I did feel that this cake was missing something. The chocolate chips helped, but I wasn't able to finish it- maybe whipped cream? Maybe some Nutella or caramel?
I also made
Snickerdoodle Mug Cake- not on the same night and this one I finished- maybe it was because it wasn't overly chocolatey?
