Chocolate Pancake Cake

chocolate-pancake-cake-recipe

This is a very healthy dessert with nearly no calories at all.

It’s almost like a tic tac.

Okay, that’s not true… but wouldn’t it be awesome if it was?

 

You know what?

Around this time of year people often ask me: “Petra, why each year in February you die and then come to life again in March?

And I say to those people: “I dunno, but do you have some chocolate for me?”

That’s exactly what happens. Exactly that.

So yes, it’s chocolate that makes me crawl through the end of winter each year.

Like, for example these chocolate pancakes with lovely whipped cream filling that I had for breakfast today.

Let’s just hope that our door frame will have mercy on me and will still keep me letting out of the flat.

Let’s hope…

5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Have you ever wondered if it’s possible?

To make a cake in a microwave oven? With the whole process taking only about 5 minutes of your precious time?

Then I have the answer for you.

IT. IS. POSSIBLE. And it is even GOOD AND TASTY!

 

The truth is that I was searching for a decent mug cake recipe for quite some time. I had collected a few recipes, read through the comments, contemplated the variations of ingredients, and waited for the right moment to make this tempting chocolate dream come true.

Without even waiting that long, the right moment presented itself this week…  because when you return from a visit to your sister’s and your sister sends you home with a big smile and a suitcase full of Twilight Saga books, then some really special measures need to be taken, the most important one being to save time wherever possible – cleaning, sleeping, and even baking included.

So here I am, with 3 and a half books to read and a lovely new cake to show you.

Here are the details…

This is what we need. Just enough for 1 1/2-cup (300 ml) mug.

This recipe includes very few instructions.

You just basically place all the ingredients (minus the choc chips) in a mug (I did the stirring in a bowl because I wanted to keep my mug clean and nice for photographic purposes).
