Isn’t homeschooling fun? Cooking is part of Bailey’s curriculum, and today’s assignment was making Cake in a Mug! HM happened to have a half day of school today, so she joined in the fun. It was messy (since tweens were involved) and delicious. They made me a mug of cake, too. Homeschooling rocks!

Here’s all you do:

Microwave Cake in a Mug

adapted from Chocolate Cake in 5 Minutes

1. Assemble your ingredients:

4 Tablespoons flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil

2. Mix the dry ingredients in a mug: flour, sugar, cocoa.

3. Crack the egg into the bowl and mix it in.

4. Stir in the milk and oil

5. Microwave on high (1000 watts) for three minutes.

6. Dig in.

I had mine with some milk splashed in. A scoop of ice cream or dollop of fresh whipped cream would have been mighty fine, though. Mighty fine.
