Last month in the Relief Society Newsletter they posted a recipe for chocolate cake in a mug. I decided since my family's blood type is Hershey we would test drive the recipe. I took a risk and let each of the kids make their own. Yes they were a little messy but they had fun and that is what counts. It was really cool. You bake them in the microwave. When you put it in they just start growing up over the cup. The amazing thing is they don't explode and they do not spill over the cup. They taste like a chocolate chip muffin. They were pretty tasty. You should try it your kids will love it. If you did not get the recipe her it is:
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 Tbs flour
4 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs cocoa
1 egg
3 Tbs milk
3 Tbs oil
3 Tbs chocolate chips
a splash of vanilla
1 large coffee mug
*****Add dry ingredients to the mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and the vanilla and mix again.
*****Put your mug in the microwave and cook 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug but don't be alarmed. Allow it to cool a little bit and then tip out onto a paper plate if desired. And enjoy!

How fun!!! I love the little mess too! You are such a great mommy! I feel like I should be doing more fun things like this! Thanks for the share!!!
Thanks! We'll have to give that one a go! Something I can actually make with ingredients from here!! How are you, by the way? You've got me worried!! I've been meaning to call you, but I'm probably going to be induced on Friday and I've had a million things to get out of the way before hand. Our prayers are with you! Love you! xx
What a crazy idea! Where do people come up with these recipes?! Thanks for the idea...I think I should try this with Austin.
Oh my gosh I LOVED this Mandi! The cake looks pretty good...hey we must be blood related, I have Hershey running through my veins too...Hallie's pic is so cute! She looks like she thoroughly enjoyed the cake, too. Notice Mackay in the background making a funny face..and Jonah with not a chocolate smear anywhere!
That looks yummy! I am gonna have to try that one.
The kids look like they had so much fun! I copied the recipe and I'm putting it in our ward newsletter. Thanks for the great idea!
