THE 5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR ONE PERSON.......HOW COOL IS THAT?!
5 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)
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 2 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!

Pineapple Upside down cake from scratch
Ingredients
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter 2 tsp baking powder
1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup granulated sugar
½ fresh pineapple cut crosswise – peeled, quartered lengthwise, ½ tsp salt
cored and cut into ½ inch thick slices 1 large egg
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup milk
1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with unflavored cooking spray. Melt 1 stick of the butter and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter with the brown sugar over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Spread the butter-and-sugar mixture in the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Distribute the pineapple slices evenly over the mixture and set the pan aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a medium bowl, beat together the egg, milk and the reserved melted butter. Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined; the batter will be thick. Using a rubber spatula, scoop the batter into the cake pan, spreading it until it reaches the sides of the pan.
4. Bake the cake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes.
5. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes. Place a serving plate over the cake pan and invert. Slowly lift off the pan and serve.

ReplyDeleteOMG--I am not a real big dessert person, but with these two recipes, I think I could become one. I am afraid to try the first one, because it looks so simple that I may bake it every night....then I will have to ride four horses a day, and 150 situps every night, and walk four miles a day, and swim 50 laps.....LOL (I am going to try it, though....exercise be da***d! LOL
