On my previous post 5 Minute Chocolate Cake for One, I mentioned that I had not yet tried the recipe.
Well, now I have not only tried the recipe (and it worked, by the way), but I modified it because Geoff (my hubby) doesn’t like chocolate cake.
This is 5 Minute Pecan Cake in a Mug!
This recipe works well, too.
I want to let you know that this cake is denser than a regular cake that you would bake in the traditional manner. But, it’s still pretty good if you need a quick cake fix. And don’t we all, from time to time.
Here’s how I modified the recipe to something Geoff would like:
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons Flour
- 2 tablespoons Raw Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 2 tablespoons Pecans, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
- 1 large coffee mug (microwave safe)
- 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 pecans and almond extract and mix again.
- Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
- The cake will rise ove the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed. (This is really cool to watch! I was sure that it was going to spill out of the mug and all over the microwave, but it didn’t.)
- Allow to cool a little and tip out onto a plate, if desired.
- EAT! (You may want to share as this is really quite filling.)
Next? I plan to try to alter the recipe to make a 5 minute Coffee Cake – made with real coffee. So, it will be coffee cake in a coffee mug.
I’ll post again to let you know how it works out.
