I am often perusing the interweb, I love kittehs and pugs
and corgis and little baby goats. The Internet is so awesome. You can go to a
farm/petting zoo without having to go to a farm/petting zoo. What, I’m scared
of chickens. Them bitches are scary.
Anyway, I finally saw a food picture/recipe meme I could
actually do. Not like those seven layers rainbow cakes or cupcakes turned into
a baby panda. A MICROWAVE BROWNIE!!!!!
Being a massive dessert person, and having those ingredients
in my pantry, I gave it the old college try. (I hate it when those recipes
expect you to have like essence of newt in you kitchen, it’s like “yeah, I’ll
pop down to Diagon Alley during my weekly shopping and grab some.” I hate
life.)
¼ cup flour
¼ sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch o salt
A mug to chuck everything into and then consume in once
cooked.
Mix dry stuff.
Mix wet stuff.
Stir like a mother until all melded together.
Zap that mother for 1 minute and 40 seconds. The recipe says
on ‘high’ setting. But my microwave is close to 30 years old, I just put in
time and am like “cook, bitch, cook!”
There you have it. A freaking brownie. Frigging dessert in a
mug. This just amazes me. I hate it when you have to convince someone or even
yourself to go and get dessert when you are craving warm chocolaty goodness and
then you buy a frozen dessert and it takes 45 minutes to cook. NO. Not this
time!
I've been wanting to try this for so long, I was worried it might be too good to be true!
