Chocolate in 5 minutes

So we say this on the Internet and decided to try it out. Yes, it takes about 5 minutes. Ours was a bit longer since we also made some homemade frosting.

Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons cake flour

4 Tablespoons sugar

2 Tablespoons cocoa

1 Egg

3 Tablespoons milk

3 Tablespoons oil

1 Mug

The Mug we used were large soup mugs from Tai Pan Trading. We knew that the contents would raise a little and we wanted it all to stay in the cup.

Instructions:

Mix flour, sugar and cocoa

Spoon in 1 egg

Add milk and oil and mix well.

Microwave on high for 3 minutes

Let it sit for about 1 more minute in the mug

Take a knife and loosen the cake from the cup.

Dump cake out on a plate

We found that the top looked a little better then the bottom so we turned it over. We then created our own chocolate frosting.

Frosting Ingredients

1 cup powdered sugar

3 tablespoons of cocoa

3 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of milk

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

Mix well.

Results

We didn't like the cake. It was mediocre at best. It was even a little tough. The frosting is a family favorite so that helped...but not much. Bottom line - if you are really craving a some chocolate go an get a few of the Warm Delights from Betty Crocker and keep them in your pantry. They fulfill the need with more ease and taste better!!!

And finally - - the little ones decided that a snowy ice would be better - yet the sour green apple apparently stains anything it touches.
