Tonight we did the funnest thing as a family! Opa brought a recipe from Oma for how to make a little cake inside a hot cocoa mug. It was a lot of fun & was easy enough for each of the girls to make their own. If you do try this, a word of advice. We used 3 different mugs & the one that worked best was a mug that had straight up & down sides (not getting bigger towards the top). When you put it in the microwave it raises REALLY high over the top of the mug & it's scary. The straight sided mug worked great, the angled ones spilled a little bit. The cake is good, a little heavy (not light & fluffy), but it's good. And it's just fun to do.
Here's the recipe if you want a fun Family Home Evening activity & treat:
4 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons Milk
3 Tablespoons Oil
3 Tablespoons Chocolate Chips
Small Splash of Vanilla
Add dry ingredients to the mug & mix well. Add the egg & mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk & oil & mix well. Add the chocolate chips & vanilla & mix again. Put your mug in the microwave & cook for 3 minutes on high. The cake WILL raise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed. Allow to cool a little & eat!
If you want somthing new to try for FHE try these cakes. They really work. One cup of cake will feed more than on kid. My kids were so much fun to work with. They baked there own cake.
