MUG O’ CHOCOLATE CAKE

Shalom Y’all,

I know some don’t have, or don’t use microwaves, so if you don’t, please feel free to skip this post. I haven’t been able to duplicate this recipe without the microwave. If you come up with the same results using something other than a microwave, PLEASE email me at vickilynn@realfoodliving.com

I made this last night for our Sabbath supper dessert. I tweaked a recipe that is pretty common online. It makes individual rich chocolate cake in a coffee mug.

I made organic homemade chocolate ice cream to serve over top of the cake. Oh my, it was soooooo decadent! (Yes, I indulged as well!). The lovely, warm cake with melted chocolate chips, topped with cold ice cream in each bite was fabulous.

9 year old Esther Ruth said it was warm and cold and sweet all in one bite. 🙂

Now, the only downside is that EACH mug o’ cake takes about 3 minutes to cook one at a time in the microwave, so if you have a large family, doing each cake in a mug isn’t feasible. The first ones will be stone cold while the last ones will be too hot to eat. The effect is lost 🙂

For the 4 of us left at home (the older children have left the nest), it was perfectly-timed. I put the ice cream in the Cuisinart ice cream maker which takes 30 minutes. I assembled all the cake ingredients and the mugs and assembly line-style, filled each mug and one by one, baked them and placed them on the table to cool.

The cakes were toasty warm (but no longer burning hot!) when the ice cream was ready and I called everyone to the table at the same time and then topped their mug o’cakes with soft-serve homemade organic ice cream.

The sighs and “Mmmmmmmmmm”’s were music to this Jewish Momma’s ears and then I realized that many of the “Mmmmmmmmmm”’s were coming from me! LOL! So, I just quietly enjoyed the warm, gooey, cold, sweet treat.

Shabbat Shalom!
