On Monday nights Lyndsay has a Bible study with her friends. I used to have classes on this night, but since they have ended, I have been enjoying the monday nights as “me” time.
Tonight I was checking my mail and looking at various blogs on the internet when I noticed this:
Though I am certainly not much of a cook myself, I’m always up for a good science experiment…especially if I can eat it.
So I went through the instructions and voila! Less than 10 minutes later I am munching on cake while I type this. It’s not awesome, but it’s pretty good for what it is.
On the 1 to 10 scale of deserts, I give it about a 3.
On the 1 to 10 scale of food, I give it about a 6.
(Competition is tougher on the desserts scale because on the “food” scale, things like collard greens, cooked carrots, and cabbage go on the bottom end of the scale and being able to actually even swallow the food gets you at least a 4.
On the 1 to 10 scale of edible 10 minute or less science experiments. I give it a 9.5.
Go give it a shot and report back.

Here’s my variation:
4 Tablespoons flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
5 Tablespoons Hershey’s cocoa powder
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons water
3 Tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vanilla (I didn’t measure)
Also, if you want it to come out of a mug, mix it in something else (like a measuring cup) then spray the mug and pour the cake in there (mixing it in the mug takes the spray off of the mug and into the batter making spraying virtually pointless).
Let me know what you think!
