Banana Mug Cake Friday, June 29, 2012 Banana Mug Cake I love banana bread, but when I develop a craving for it, it takes a while to satisfy. I have to mash some bananas, bake for an hour, let it cool, etc. But not anymore. Banana cake is possible in just a few minutes. Someone requested I try making this cake, but I didn’t get a chance to try creating it until now, after being given some lovely organic bananas from Organics Unlimited . When I added egg yolk to the batter, it turned the cake quite yellow. I even lightened the cake a little by replacing by eliminating the oil with some nonfat yogurt and nonfat milk. Like all the other mug cakes I’ve made, this one was easy to make. A little more information about the bananas.
Red Velvet Mug Cake Monday, March 19, 2012 I’m not sure where the inspiration came for making this mug cake this week. It wasn’t a suggestion by a reader, it wasn’t some idea that popped into my head that I had jotted down. It just sort of magically appeared into my thoughts while I was in the kitchen. I’m pretty picky when it comes to red velvet cakes. And even though I don’t really enjoy cream cheese frosting, I made it just for this cake. I was really proud at myself for opening the red food coloring bottle without staining my hands. Here’s the list of the rest of my mug cakes I’ve made so far. Red Velvet mug cake Ingredients: For the cake: 4 tbsp flour 4 1/2 tbsp sugar 1/8 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 3 tbsp oil 3 tbsp buttermilk 1 egg 1/2 tsp red food coloring For the frosting: 2 tbsp cream cheese 2 tbsp butter 1/2 cup sugar Directions: Mix all the ingredients together into an oversized mug using a fork or small whisk until batter is smooth. Let cake cool slightly before piping frosting.
- sweet road -: How to make 1 cupcake Picking out a single dessert to indulge in (alone or with a friend!) at a bakery almost has a romantic allure to it. Baking a batch of cupcakes or brownies at home often seems like a fun idea, but sitting alone in the kitchen with a half eaten pan of brownies and a stomach ache is not exactly my idea of a good time. Besides, desserts always taste better when you savor them, knowing that you only get one!I decided to combine my love for baking with this kind of one-time indulgence: I give you the single serving cupcake recipe!

How to Eat Five Times a Day … If you want to give yourself the best chance at succeeding in your weight loss efforts, you need to improve your metabolic rate and consume less calories than you burn.
