I'm not much of a food snob, but even to me microwave mug cake has never sounded appealing. But, tonight I really wanted to make P a quick sweet treat, so I decided to give it a go.
Adapting this recipe just slightly (g free all purpose and sweet white rice flour) turned out to be the best idea I've had all weekend. Two very hefty servings of fudgey cake, frosted with a play on our family's famous pb frosting, all ready in about 5 minutes. Yum!

Mix 1 part pb with 3 parts confectioners sugar. Add splashes of milk until you get the consistency you want. Depending on your sweet tooth, you may want more sugar.
Fancy times at my place tonight.

ReplyDeleteI am very tempted to try this but don't keep gluten free flours around. Think it would work with all-purpose or whole wheat? I might have to experiment some.
ReplyDeleteOk. found a version online with regular flour. I used someone's WeightWatchers changes (applesauce instead of oil) and didn't have chocolate chips. It was OK. Could have had more chocolate flavor. I am thinking of going to the 1 decent health food store in El Paso and getting some of the flours you used to try it again.
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate chips definitely helped! I don't know what the difference w/the flours would be. It might be worth using more cocoa or a darker/higher quality cocoa...
ReplyDeleteBut for 3 and a half minutes I'll still take it in a pinch!
This might be enough to compel us (me) to finally get a microwave...
