Choc cake in a mug

- zaty.

Update 11/5/2014: here's an updated version of the recipe: clickie!

Yes, in a mug. I kid you not.

microwave chocolate mug cake attempt #1 (before)
Pre-microwave

microwave chocolate mug cake attempt #2 (after)
Post-microwave

Not exactly the prettiest cake in the world, but honestly - if you have 10 minutes, a microwave oven, and a dire craving for a choc cake fix pronto, this is much easier than walking all the way to the bakery or even baking a 'real' cake.

Original recipe from here.

Microwave choc cake in a mug recipe:
Tools
  • Microwave & coffee mug. Also baking paper to line the mug :)
Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 tbsp whisked egg (omit this for a fudgier cake)
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp choc chips
  • A few tsps of of flavoring - eg. vanilla, peppermint
Directions
  1. Add all of the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa) to the mug and mix.
  2. Add the egg and combine well. It gets pretty pasty at this point.
  3. Stir in milk and oil.
  4. Add choc chips and flavoring. Stir well.
  5. Microwave for 3 minutes in a 1000w oven, or 4 minutes in a 700w oven. It will start to crown over the top of the mug. Don't panic! It will collapse once the heat stops.

Enjoy :)

sushi

- zaty.

how to make a sushi can be seen here : [click]

learn well, so that the batch of sushi you produce will not get screwed up.
like mine did :

sushi???

i show you the pictures, folks, as a lesson.

patience pays off.

i was impatient, so i couldn't wait for things to heat up and then cool down and stay warm etc etc. and other than that, i basically didn't really note the measurements of each ingredients. the rice was too sticky, i used too much vinegar (it stank, but thank god the sushi didn't -___-), and i had NO idea how to roll it up, but too lazy to google it up. and the only thing i placed in the sushi was egg slices. uglily-cut egg slices. *evil laughs*

but wait, there's more.

and as horrorful as above looks, there's something even scarier.
oh yes. it gets worse.

behold...

MY GHASTLY ATTEMPT AT CALIFORNIA ROLLS! *le shock*

the pathetic-looking california roll

i SO cannot cook for a living. hahahah. XD

more shots to lose your appetite, if you so desire (scroll down pls) ;)









a close up




hahahaha. don't judge food by its cover. the above pathetic-attempts at sushi may look ugly, but they taste more horrible than they look. hihihi ;P
