A 3-minute Cake for Breakfast

This recipe for microwaved cake sounds too good to not try.

4 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs cocoa
1 egg
2 Tbsp almond milk
1 Tbsp sour cream (instead of 3 Tbsp milk)
3 Tbsp oil

Baguettes, fresh.

Made a variant on Jean Paré’s Chocolate Walnut Slice.

Instead of just walnut and coconut, more of a trail mix added.

Bottom layer 1 cup oreo cookie crumb base and 1/4 […]

Chocolate Squares

A caramel toffee square, as variation on Jean Paré’s 150 Delicious Squares p. 135 except flour was 1/2 flour and half crushed oreos and some coconut thrown into bottom layer. Condensed milk middle layer was by the book and the top layer was slightly less than 2 cups chocolate chips.

Chocolate Smacks and Some Nutrition the Side

This is based from Chocolate Smacks from Company’s Coming: 150 Delicious Squares (the first of the cookbook series in 1981).

There was also avocado-tomato salad, rye bread and hummus and ebony rice with chanterelle mushrooms.
But the cake: The bottom layer in my version was salvage work from a torte that went wrong. The sliced rather […]
