My Vinalhaven friend Meg sent me this recipe for microwaveable chocolate cake. Some have called it the ‘most dangerous recipe in the world’ because basically once you discover it, at any moment you are five minutes away from chocolate cake. Since we had several birthdays in the group in the past month (and I had a really crazy weekend as a bridesmaid), this seemed like an easy craft to relax with friends and get back in the swing of things.
Materials:
4 tbsp. flour
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1 egg
3 tbsp. milk or half and half
2 tbsp. canola oil
large splash of vanilla extract
(Sue added instant coffee, which was good, and the recipe suggests chocolate chips, which also sound good)
A big mug
Cocktail of the Night: Limoncello (store bought this time)
1. Mix the three dry ingredients in a big mug. Pour limoncello in separate glass.
2. Stir in egg. Then add milk, oil, and vanilla.
3. Stir in extras, if you desire.
4. Microwave on high for three minutes. the directions warned it might go over the mug and it does if you have a shorty mug like I do. Sue and Sam’s cakes did not do this.
