Forwarded messages from Moms can sometimes be eye-brow raising or delete button pressing. Holy cow, you guys - this one actually worked:


FIVE MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)
Trace of Oil or Pam

Wipe the inside of the mug with a little bit of oil on a paper towel or spray some Pam inside it. Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

EAT! This can serve two if you want to feel slightly more virtuous. And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?

Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

OM NOM NOM. We added almonds, too. DELICIOUS. I needed some chocolate cake, too.

Viv, Viv! Have you heard of the toaster oven cookie strategy?

[vivien]

I have! I used to make toaster oven cookies in my classroom! But only with the dough-in-a-tube.

We are 10 minutes away from ALL BAKED GOODS! What will become of civilization?

[vivien]

It will become fat but very, very happy.

*nods firmly*

... That's a happy ending. :D

[vivien]

Indeed!

We need all the happy endings we can get!

Om nom nom!

....can we make these, like, every night, when you are here?

[vivien]

YES! WE CAN!

Oh my God, I just tried it. This is very dangerous knowledge.

It is like a miracle and a curse all in one!
