Applebutter Jeans

Things have been a little stressful in Jenna's world here lately. If you happen to think about it..slip me into your prayers!
Last night I went over to my In Laws for dinner. My MIL had made some Applebutter, which was a new little treat to my taste buds. I'm not quite sure but I believe it was made with Apples, butter, sugar, and a few teaspoons of HEAVEN. It was delicious! I was advised to use it on my pork chops and Oh...My...Gosh.... Angels sang when that sugary treat of goodness touched my tastebuds. I wonder what else I could put Applebutter on?! Chicken?? Muffins?? I should probably just skip the eating process and put the applebutter in the back of my jeans pockets because that's where it will be (on my bootay in the form of cellulite) if I don't just forget it ever existed. Oh... the joy of applebutter.

While I was there I decided to make a Dangerous Chocolate Cake. Someone had posted a blog about it a few days ago. I don't remember who or where, but it reminded me that I needed to make one. My MIL has the recipe so while I was over there last night I made myself a very dangerous chocolate cake.

MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

• 4 tablespoons flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
• Small splash of vanilla

Notice I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten free all purpose baking flour.. it worked perfect!!

Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT!

(They aren't kidding about the cake rising over the top, me and my in laws stood in front of the microwave like idiots taking bets on when it would fall. Just look at the picture above...it looks like the cake is about to explode)

Leann had gotten this e-mail a while back from a friend and we both wondered how long it took someone to figure this recipe out. Thank you whoever you were, from microwave chefs all over the world!

Here's the finished product! After it cooled I cut it in half and added icing. Delicious!
