Mug Cake Mistake

I have tried the cake in a mug. I must admit first that I did not follow the directions exactly. I was lacking baking cocoa, so I made some substitutions - I just added some cinnamon and nutmeg for flavour. Yeah, flavour. 

So I pulled this out of the microwave. My husband and I decided that if you added bits of apple to it, they might distract from the rubbery greasiness. That's right, rubbery and greasy. But all in all the actual flavour wasn't that bad. Calling it good might have been a stretch.

And it looked like a sponge. I know there's sponge cake, but this just looked like a sponge. And I didn't pry it out of the mug. I ran a knife around the edge and it came out. Why it looks like it's been in a battle? I don't know.

I do think I will try this again. Maybe following the directions correctly will help. If there is a round two, will there be another picture? Of course!

Until next time... I can't bring myself to say "bon apetite". Sorry.
