Mug Cake Remake

Back in September, I came across this "genius" idea. Mug cake. That's right, a cake you bake in a mug. You put all the ingredients in a microwave safe mug, mix, nuke, and three minutes later... cake!

So then I go to try it... with missing ingredients. I made my own substitutions and ended up with a "mug cake mistake". However, I vowed to one day return to this idea.

As promised. I did it again. I used a Pyrex bowl and self-rising flour instead of all-purpose. Yes, I made changes again. I couldn't help myself. And this was the result.

It was still kind of chewy, a bit dry too. I was thinking I could make a glaze for it, but that would defeat the purpose of having a cake you can make in three minutes. It was better this time. As Jason said, it's actually edible - even though we ate the "mistake" cake too. 

I guess I'll just have to try again!
