This is from memory......someone help a girl out :) :chef:

Chocolate cake mix and instant chocolate pudding mix in a ziploc....shake violently.....
1 cup mix
1 egg
1/4 c oil
mix in the mug
Microwave 60 seconds...

Is that correct?

Thanks!
 
I'm pretty sure it is only 1/2 cup of mix and 1 tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp water. Mine always take a little over 1min.

Anyone else? I'll see if I can look it up to be sure...

I checked, and this is right.

The 60-second cake!

Make a master mix to keep in your cupboard for chocolate emergencies. In a large zip top baggie combine one box of chocolate cake mix and one box of chocolate pudding mix.

When needed – take 1/2 cup of the mix and put it in our Simple Additions Coffee & More mug. Mix with 1 Tbsp of water, 1 Tbsp of oil and one egg.

Microwave on high for 60 seconds and enjoy your chocolate fix!
 
Oh, and you can put a dollop of (non-whipped) frosting on the top too before nuking it. It sinks to the bottom. If you do it in a greased glass bowl like I do, you can turn it out. I do this for dessert for my family. Might have to make 2 batches now the kids are getting bigger!

Originally I thought it was NOT instant - but, it doesn't matter.

they might be really hot to touch w/o the handle
 
:) thanks linda, youre the best!
 
has anyone ever used vanilla pudding and white mix?
 
Not personally, but you can do any combo that sounds good to you.

I cook mine in a large cereal type bowl (now I have the small batter bowl, I'll probably use that). It does come out hot, but I grease the bowl and turn it out onto a plate, so it doesn't really matter.
 
:grumpy: urgh - I was just so going to make this right now... but all I have is brownie mix!
 
OK. I'm confused. Is this in the Dots mug, the big white mug, or the small batter bowl?
 
My understanding is that it is done in the coffee and more cups, but I don't have them, so I use a big cereal bowl, and am going to try it in a small batter bowl now I have one!
 
should I try it in the small SA bowls... ??? do you think it will overflow?
 
I think it might... you could split it and do half in each one, and cook it for less time...
 
I made the chocolate one this morning in a regular small pyrex bowl. I hadda cook it for 80 sec though?? It was okay... not very mosit... but I guess it would satisfy a craving if I had one. I used the basic recipe, no icing in it. I cooked it for 80 sec cuz there was a "wet" spot on top at the 60 and 70 sec mark... oh well. Maybe next time I will add the icing.
 
I made it yesterday at my daughter's. We fixed two mugs (cooked them one at a time) and micro'd for 60 seconds. One had a scoop of frosting and the other didn't. They both turned out good. I love that recipe. There is a BIG difference in microwaves - so some might take more time, some less. Trial and error I guess. ~Kay

Speaking of microwave ovens.....at a show this summer I made warm nutty caramel brownies. The host's micro was not touch-pad, it had dials on it. I asked the host if that dial was minutes or seconds and I swear she said "seconds". So I put my chocolate chips in there and set it for 30 seconds and then went back to doing something else. Pretty soon we smelled the most AWFUL smell!! Yep, I had set the chips to cook for 30 MINUTES. YUK YUK YUK. That was the last of her choc chips, so she found a Hershey bar and I melted that. This time I watched it to make sure I didn't burn it :)

How do I prepare the 60 Sec Chocolate Cake in the Dots Mug?

To prepare the cake, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt) in a microwave-safe mug. Mix well. Then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth. Microwave on high for about 60 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle. Let it cool slightly before enjoying!

Can I customize the 60 Sec Chocolate Cake in the Dots Mug?

Yes! You can customize the cake by adding ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or even a spoonful of peanut butter or Nutella before microwaving. You can also experiment with different flavors by substituting the cocoa powder with other flavored powders or extracts.

How many servings does the 60 Sec Chocolate Cake in the Dots Mug make?

This recipe is designed for one serving, as it is made in a single mug. If you want to make more servings, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of mugs you need and prepare each mug separately.

What should I do if my cake overflows in the microwave?

If your cake overflows, it may be due to using a mug that is too small or microwaving it for too long. To prevent this, use a larger mug and keep an eye on the cake as it cooks. You can also reduce the cooking time by a few seconds if you notice it rising too much. If it does overflow, simply clean the microwave and enjoy the cake as is!
