Chocolate Mug Cake

Ah, dorm life. Close quarters, little privacy, and absolutely no kitchen. I'm only mildly handling all of this, to be perfectly truthful. Apartment style living might be in my future here at MSU. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate that to feed myself from 7 am to midnight every day all I have to do is go downstairs to the dining hall, but I really miss my kitchen and my oven. I mean, cats and private space and my family, too, but mostly the ability to make chocolate yumminess just because I want to eat it.

Well, I have adapted a bit. I'm learning microwave-friendly recipes; next time, I'm making my own potato chips. That'll be interesting.

So far, college is like high school, but no one cares if I skip class. I mean, I'm going to do a drama production, I'll be on an academic team, and I'll geek out about weird stuff like science. I'm still job-hunting, but I'm hoping it'll all work out for the best.

Ingredients:
4 tbsp flour
6 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp milk
2 eggs

Mix up the dry ingredients.

Add the wet ingredients. Combine well. Pop in the microwave for anywhere between 3 and 7 minutes (mine took 7, but it's a very old microwave, so I'm cutting it some slack).

Yeah, it looks a little rubbery; it also tastes a little rubbery, but I can't complain too much. Without an oven, it'll never be perfect.

Like a complete idiot, I forgot the mug was ceramic. Yep, that's right. I touched it. I touched the butt. Thankfully, only one finger was hurt, but damn does it hurt! I'm alternating between wrapping it in a cold towel and ignoring it's whining. It definitely blistered, but it'll be okay. And, if not, tomorrow I'll pop on over to the health center to get it checked out by a nurse.

Keep stirring, loves!
