Hello, My name is Tracey. I am a wife, sister, daughter, and mother of three. I have taken photos of my children and family members for years. My love for photography became a passion when I received my first 35mm SLR from my wonderful husband for my 1st Mothers Day. Nothing captures a moment in time like a photograph. It is my desire to capture images that reflect life's moments as you remember it.

Cake in a Coffee Mug

A friend of mine gave me a recipe for baking a cake in a mug. I thought the boys would like it so we gave it try. They had a really good time mixing all the ingredients in the mug. You cook this cake in the microwave. They got to push the buttons and all. They had a great time and the mess wasn't bad at all!




CHOCOLATE CAKE-IN-A-MUG***
1 coffee mug
4 Tbsp. cake flour (plain, not self-rising)
4 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa 1 egg
3 Tbsp. milk
3 Tbsp. oil Small splash of vanilla
3 Tbsp. chocolate chips, optional
Add dry ingredients to mug, mix well with a fork. Add egg, mix thoroughly. Pour in milk and oil and vanilla, mix well. Add chips, if using. Put mug in microwave, and cook for three minutes on 1000 watts. Cake will rise over top of mug--do not be alarmed! Allow to cool a little; tip onto a plate if desired. Eat!

I am so going to use this idea for our Count Down to Christmas. How fun would this be to make (just put the dry ingredients in a bag in the mug and add the directions) and give to teachers. :o)
