New Trend In Personalized, Miniaturized Baking: The Mug Cake

A Boston book publicist who had a craving for a brownie – not a batch of brownies, just one brownie –  has created a recipe that “just hit the spot,” according to St. Louis food editor Kathryn Rem. The publicist found the recipe on the Internet. It creates a single-serve microwave mug cake. The recipe can accommodate any number of flavors and formats, uses a minimum of equipment, leaves no leftovers, and needs almost no clean-up. One warning: eat them while they’re warm, because the texture may change if left in the cup for too long.
