Lemon Mug Cake

I have seen a lot of recipes for these micro wave mug cakes.

We don't eat a lot of cake around here.

A beautiful chocolate layer cake once in awhile but  

 

 

 

 

unfortunately most of it ends up in our compost pile.

Sigh.....

Anyway I digress ......

 

 

 

A few weeks ago I found a post on Facebook with about 5 mug cake recipes

and thought I would give a go ..

Here is the recipe for the Lemon one

 

3 tbsp. flour

0ne quarter teaspoon baking powder

1 large egg

3 TBSP white sugar

2 TBSP veg oil

1 TSP lemon zest

2 TSP lemon juice

1 TBSP icing sugar

 

Spray or butter a 16 ounce mug

In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients

With a fork beat in the egg,oil, zest, and juice.

Pour into mug.

Microwave on high for 90 seconds

Cool, sprinkle with icing sugar, and eat directly out of mug

 

 

I found my cake was a bit too dry for my liking so am going to try again

except only "baking" it for 60 seconds.

 

There were also chocolate, coffee cake, pumpkin, s'mores, and banana.

I will take the mug cake bullet for the team and taste test them ALL

 

 

 

 

 

ciao for now
