Five minute chocolate cake

From Instructables.com


o coffee mug
o 4 tablespoons flour - make sure you measure it right - or the cake is a lie!
o 4 tablespoons sugar
o 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
o 2 tablespoons whisked egg - 1 egg is too much, 1 egg white is too eggy, 1 yolk is too dense, but 2 tblsp is just right!
o 3 tablespoons milk
o 3 tablespoons oil
o 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
o splash vanilla or other flavoring - try peppermint or cinnamon

For a fudgier version, omit egg!

Cake Wrecks posted this to Facebook. It cooks in 2.5-4 minutes in the microwave.

We made ours with chocolate soy milk instead of milk.

We also discovered one of our eggs made two cakes.

I made mine with chocolate chips, pecans and chopped caramel candies to make a turtle cake.

Peaches and goodies

I wish I could eat as well as my daughter.

She's eating peaches (canned in pear juice), my homemade oatmeal/dried fruit/granola-y buttery desserty nonsense from Tuesday, and chocolate soy milk.

Fruit (and orange fruit at that!), carbs with some nutritional value, and protein and calcium in the milk...

I hate peaches, I rarely drink milk in any form... I just wish I could make myself mimic the eating habits I taught her.

Crêpes sales (Dirty crêpes)

Last semester, the French club held a crêpe sale, which made our native French professor look twice at the sign. The phrase crêpe sale in French would mean 'dirty crêpe.' I have pondered for months what would make a dirty crêpe.

This morning I almost made pancakes, and realized I had no milk. I had no milk-like products except for some liquid non-dairy creamer and some chocolate milk. So I thought I'd embark on a dirty chocolate crêpe.

Whisk vigorously:

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup chocolate soy milk
• 1/4 cup coffee
• 1 tsp walnut oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup unbleached white flour
• 1/2 cup liquid non dairy creamer
• 1/3 cup Hersheys cocoa

Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into a large hot skillet (heat around medium if it's a good iron skillet). Swirl skillet so crêpe is as thin as possible. Cook about three minutes. Flipping may be required.

I served these with applesauce on the side and peanut butter on the actual crêpe.

I think a real dirty crêpe would be stuffed with nutella and crushed oreos with whipped cream and gummy frogs on top.
