I bet you’ve seen the recipe for Five Minute Coffee Cup Chocolate Cake, it looks like a fun recipe to make for the kiddos afternoon snack. I thought that and Ice Cold Banana Smoothie would go great with the Chocolate Cake. Let’s see if I can time everything right for a tasty afternoon snack.
I took one look at my coffee cup, and thought I had better grab a bigger coffee cup. I don’t want to clean up a gigantic mess in the microwave, when I could be enjoying some Chocolate Cake…
I added in some Chocolate Chips. I think I would add the Chocolate Chips in with the dry ingredients to help coat them, instead of at the end. All of my chocolate chips sank to the bottom, but it was still pretty good.
The Banana Smoothies were fun and super fast. I added in a few Chocolate Chips too.
All finished, but will the kids eat it?
Well they both loved the Banana Smoothies, but Thade wasn’t a fan of the Chocolate Cake. I think he was missing the Chocolate Frosting that is usually on top of the Chocolate Cake. Dylan and I agree that the Chocolate Cake was pretty darn good.
Thade gives the Smoothies a “thumbs up”, and the cake a “thumbs down”… Oh well, maybe I’ll keep this recipe just for me as a late night snack.
Funny…someone just posted a recipe for cake-in-a-mug on my favourite parenting forum. I think we’re going to try it after school.
I think I agree with Thade, cake needs icing LOL!!! That’s the best part!
Thanks Susan! It is a pretty good cake, but it is also very rich. Thade was really bummed that there wasn’t Chocolate Icing on top, but Dylan didn’t seem to mind 😉
Loved the ratings from Thade! Super cute photos! I love smoothies, but forget about them in the cooler months. Thanks for reminding me how good they are!- heather
Thought of you today- A friend of my mom’s spray painted her wicker furniture on the outside porch black and then added fall decor on fabric of pillows and small table. Heather
I want to try the cake! My kids would love it for an after school snack. Maybe Thade would like it with some milk poured over it, right in the mug, cake and milk with a spoon. Try it, Thade and give us a review!
Thanks Heather! I thought the cake was pretty tasty, and super easy to make too. The Smoothies were great, and we’ve had them for breakfast. I think that the Banana Smoothie is a great base that you could add just about anything to.
That is cool that your Mom’s friend has been busy spray painting for Fall too. I have a few pieces to do, but I haven’t found the time to get to them 😉
Thanks Mimi! The cake was pretty good, and a fun snack for the kiddos to make. The cake and milk combo sounds great to me, we’ll have to give it a try 🙂
