5-Minute Bread Pudding

I do like bread, and I do like pudding very much, now combining them would be another thing but I definitely will give this one a try. From instructibles (koulkanator)

These ingredients are more suggestions, you can easily make substitutions to almost everything but the bread and eggs.

You'll need:
- a microwaveable coffee cup or bowl
- bread (stale ok!)
- 1 egg
- 1-3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons of yogurt or milk
- 1-2 tablespoons of butter / margarine

Optional ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla
- dash of cinnamon

 

Now tear up your inedible bread. I happened to have some "english muffin bread" from Trader Joe's, I think it really enhances the taste and texture since it's already kind of dense and spongy *Mmmmmmmm*

Put the pieces into the cup and set aside.

 

Whisk together all remaining ingredients. If your butter is not soft enough yet, it's ok to melt it.

Pour the mixture on top of the bread. If needed, use a fork to help it along down into the crevices so it makes its way throughout the bread. 

 

Pop in the microwave for about 2 minutes. When it's done, let it cool for as long as you can stand it. Letting it set for a few minutes allows the flavor and texture to set in.

Once cooled to your liking, dig in and enjoy!

 

Comments are good so I can't wait to give this a try.

5 Minute Ch0colate Cake

There are a lot of cake-in-a-mug recipes out there, here's another one I've found and since the person who posted it said they have already taken the time to "experiment with eight variations on a recipe to come up with the best, tastiest, and most reliable 5-minute chocolate cake on the web." So, I surely will give it a try next time.

Ingredients:

microwave!

coffee mug

4 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

2 tablespoons whisked egg - 1 egg is too much, 1 egg white is too eggy, 1 yolk is too dense, but 2 tblsp is just right!

3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons oil

3 tablespoons chocolate chips

splash vanilla or other flavoring - try peppermint or cinnamon

For a fudgier version, omit egg!

Steps:
Add all of the dry ingredients to the mug and mix.
Add the egg and combine well. It gets pretty pasty at the point.
Stir in milk and oil.
Add chocolate chips* and splash of vanilla. Stir well.
*if you don't have chocolate chips, try a broken up candy bar - I can't stress how much this amps the awesomeness of your cake

Microwave for 3-4 min --> well, I will just try with 1 minute or so, microwave for 3-4 min for a mug size cake is a bit long, don't you think?

Note: some comments say the cake burn (because of the vanilla extract - they contain alcohol) and suggested to reduce that. Also, yeah, the chocolate cake will also burn when cooked for 3-4 min..so try 1-2 min, checking every 15 secs or so.

Enjoy.
