Double-Decker Layered Cake in a Cup

30/6/2014

Comments

 
In a desperate attempt to put off packing up my room and having been suitably annoyed with the app "Yo", I have just made what I think may be the world's first double-decker cake in a cup, in a microwave.

The cake in a cup has been done countless times before (and I love it) but the idea of having two separate flavours separate, but together, in one mug was too good an idea to not do. 

I chose to have a peanut butter layer at the bottom and then a coffee layer at the top. I chose these seemingly bizarre flavours both because I was feeling a bit edgy and because I am seriously running out of ingredients  - our fridge is looking pretty barren with only the carcasses of out-of-date yoghurts lurking deep within.

Having said this, the cake was pretty fab. Substitute whatever you like. Here is how you do it!

Coffee Weetabix Cookie In A Microwave

29/6/2014

Peanut butter on toast. It sounds simple. But it isn't. People get it wrong. This upsets me. 

How can you get it wrong? 

Well, it is not that people get it wrong per se but some people do not get it absolutely right. 

How do you make this staple of students across the world "right" I hear you say? You butter the toast lightly before you apply the peanut butter. If you don't do it, do it. You have been living a life of dry, okay-ish peanut butter on toast. With proper (salted) butter and peanut butter, it becomes oozy and lovely. 

Having made my peanut butter on toast perfectly, today I made, for the first time, the coffee Weetabix cookie in the microwave. 

It was fab. Read more for how to do it!

It is official, my first year of University has come to a close. 

Crucially, for the purposes of this page, my last catered meal was this morning. Lunch was uncharted territory. This marks an historic moment - this post is the first to concern something savoury as opposed to something sweet.

  • Bread
  • Butter
  • Cheese

Fried Calzone Cake

27/6/2014

Comments

 
Today I attempted the "fried drop-cake" again. This is a creation I first attempted in my second term in Durham. I thought it was high time to resurrect it. However, whilst I was doing this, I had a bit of an epiphany. 

The other day, to celebrate the fact that we had made it through the first year of University relatively unscathed, a group of us commandeered Pizza Express. A few of our number were particularly adventurous and chose something called a Calzone. This is essentially a normal pizza that has been folded over so it looks like a giant Cornish pasty. 

I decided to try to replicate this with cake.

What is the somewhat dubiously named "fried drop-cake"?

Mint Chocolate Cake In A Cup

27/6/2014

I had never come across cake in a cup until this year. I can safely say that I am now a convert. 

They are both a quick shot of energy as well as giving that satisfying feeling of having accomplished something. This evening I made a mint chocolate cake in a mug. It was splendid. Sometimes cake can be too rich and too dehydrating but this one was pleasantly refreshing. 

Here is how it is done.

Midnight Weetabix - Funky Alternative

It goes without saying that when eating Weetabix, one should have a banana.
However, if you are not fortunate enough to have one, my top tip would have to be strawberry jam.

Mash it up. Enjoy. Nice.
