Almost every night after dinner both Brad and I get a craving for chocolate. For the most part, we try to be good and not have any candy in the house, but occassionally we give in and buy Skinny Cow ice creams. (Our current addiction is the Chocolate Truffle Bars)
The other week I came across a recipe for "Mug Cake" that had a few ingredients that you whip together in a coffee mug and then "bake" in the microwave for 3 minutes. There were so many blogs and websites reposting this recipe - and so many rave reviews - that I thought for sure this would be a great treat. And although this has the potential to become very dangerous for us (seriously, a serving of chocolate cake in just 3 minutes?), I still wanted to give it a try and surprise Brad with what I hoped would be a quick and tasty dessert.
Unfortunately I think 3 minutes in our microwave was way too long since the first cup-of-cake came out kind of rubbery. Okay, it wasn't "kind of" rubbery - it was basically rubber that Brad suggested we give to Copper as a chew toy.
So, for our second try, we only did 2 minutes in the microwave. Still rubbery- although not a total dog toy this time. And now I'm out of flour, so this experiment will have to continue another day after a trip to the grocery store and some more research.
Good thing I bought candy corn as back up for dessert that night. ;)
