Mugcake????How do I make it?
 

I have been looking through the different posts trying to find the instructions for this recipe. Can anyone help? Thanks Carol

Here ya go carol.

1 pkg Chocolate Drink ( replace with other drinks try with vanilla drink)
1 egg white
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon olive oil (I use 2 tsp)
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

I put mine in a bowl so it doesnt run over.
enjoy!

Great! Thanks Cadu.

When I made mine it POPPED out of the mug but some was left in the mug....it was crazy!.....lol

I love the mugcake. It is very messy but a great treat.

I put mine in a bowl so it isnt messy at all and I dont waste a drop of it. i just take the whole thing out and put it on a plate

Gonna have to try that because i surely don't want to waste a drop either.

I know this is not an alternative thread, but Nashua Nutrition sells a cake mix like this....I mix it in a mug and eat it for lunch or breakfast as a packet sometimes. It is about 120 calories, 9 carbs (2 are fiber) and a couple grams of fat. This is very close the the mix you are making. It is quite yummy. A bunch of us at my work use this regularly.

When I am in a reboot (as I have been in maintenance almost a year)...I count this as a non-restrictive (but carb wise it is more restrictive) I only use this on high exercise days. (calorie wise it is more non-restrictive).

Is the plate to catch drippings? Do you use a plate with the bowl, too? How big of a bowl? The light has been out on my microwave for years, so I can't watch it. How will I know when it's done? (What should it look like?) Is it okay to open the door every minute or so to check it? Thanks!

So. I made the mugcake. It really expands and is a substantial amount to eat. But, I think I left it in too long. It was a bit rubbery, I was able to eat it in my hand like a piece of cake. Is this the desired consistency or should it be more gooey. Smelled great and is a very much a comfort food. I will definitely make this again I need to experiment with my microwave. Tasted good.

Anyone try it with a pudding mix?
 

I'm wondering if this cake could be made with a pudding mix or maybe 1/2 a pudding mix? Anyone ever try that?

Also, as an alternative (i know wrong thread) nashua nutrition sells a chocolate chip sweet roll, that is amazing and unrestricted.

Yes, the plate is to catch the spillage, I use an ice cream bowl and I dont need the plate. I micro it for 3 mins, not opening the micro and it comes out perfect every time. after it is done and shrinks it is about 1/3 of the bowl. (as it it cooking it comes way over the bowl but it shrinks back down onto the bowl when it is done).

not gooey, it comes out just like cake. I put WF choc or strawberry syrup on it.
