let them eat it

Richard's version

Okay, listen; I love cake. I love cake but I don't get to eat it that often because WOW does cake take a long time to make. Sometimes I'll see cake on TV and want cake so bad but I'm way too lazy to make a whole cake. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY EXCITEMENT when I came across this ingenious invention the other day:

5 MINUTE SINGLE-SERVING CAKE-IN-A-MUG!!!!

After I gathered my thoughts, I told the lovely and talented Richard about this crazy cake recipe. He was like "K I'M TRYING THIS IMMEDIATELY" and since I wasn't in the mood for cake and couldn't try it myself, I invited him to tell me how it turned out. He gave it a 6.5 out of 10 for deliciousness. Today, I tried it myself! Behold:

The flour, sugar and cocoa mixture.

Mixing in the egg.

the pre-microwave mixture (flour, cocoa, sugar, egg, milk and oil)

The finished product!

I give it a 10 for convenience, a 6 for deliciousness (it's a little spongy, we both thought so) and a 9 for being able to satisfy a quick cake craving without having to bake a whole big cake with a whole big mess to clean up. Lazy cake lovers the world over, rejoice.
