Chocolate Cake in a Mug?
 

I have searched and searched and searched... someone in the last week posted a way to make a chocolate cake in a mug out of either the pudding or drink mix and I can't find it but my TOM is shouting it's name... does anyone have it?
chocolate cake in my belly please:hb:

Chocolate Mug Cake...Instant Joy!

1 pkg Chocolate Drink ( replace with other drinks try with vanilla drink)
1 egg white
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon splenda (or sweeten with other sweetener to taste )
Splash of vanilla

Put the drink mix in a big mug
Add enough water to bring it to a slightly watery pudding consistency, just enough to be able to mix easily
Add other ingredients (egg white, baking powder, olive oil, splenda, vanilla )
Mix it like crazy with a big fork till it's silky smooth
Put it in the microwave for 3 minutes ON TOP OF A BIG PLATE
Watch as it expands like crazy
Let cool
Eat... and enjoy

HALLELUIA! thank you so much :D

If you wouldn't mind, can you post up what you think of this after you try it?

I tried it with the chocolate pudding and it just turned into a rubbery gooey mess. =( I'll have to try it with the chocolate drink sometime.

I tried it tonight, made it in a large cereal bowl and I thought it was going to explode.... well it didn't and it was very tasty! But it doesn't really follow the rules as it had 1T of oil, but I guess if it keeps you from cheating it's not a terrible rule to break.

I'm so glad you posted this. I just tried it with choc pudding and it was awful, rubbery and stuck to the top of my microwave. Guess I will have to try it again with the choc drink. LOL

It stuck to the TOP of the microwave? :?: Did it explode or did it blow up like a balloon?

I love creative IP recipes, but it is almost funny how wrong things can go. I wish I'd taken a picture of my first IP waffle failure; took 30 minutes to clean the waffle iron with a toothbrush. The second attempt was a complete success however!

I wonder if this recipe would be good with the cappuccino drink mix...

I'm trying it.

My first IP waffle recipe was the same way! I was so frustrated! I wonder if this works with pudding mixes...or if there's something different about the makings of the drink mixes that make it work....

It didn't work.

It seriously expands like crazy in the microwave. It was like a big balloon up and over the side of the mug. I thought for sure it would hit the top of the microwave or come down to the plate but it never did. Was sad to see it deflate so much but we really enjoyed it. I only put a teasp of oil in it. The batter was very consistent with cake batter.

Sorry to hear about the cappucino, EmilySebetka. That is my favorite drink and I too thought it would make an amazing cake thing.

The puddings have something in them that makes them (for lack of a better word) coagulate. I've made muffins out of drink mixes before and it worked fine. I know others use soups without an issue.

My first waffle expanded like a star going supernova, breaking out of the waffle-maker prison like a bat out of *$($, then transformed into superglue encrusting the entire appliance. Second one, I sprayed the waffle iron with olive oil before adding a modest amount of batter. Much better outcome.

making this tonight! THANKS :carrot:
