I’m not even about to explain what the joke in the title is alluding to. If you get it, you get it. If you don’t, then what a shame. But in all honesty, making these mug-cakes were more of a hassle than I anticipated. Or are they actual cupcakes? Anyways, don’t even get me started on that vanilla mug-cake. Also, again, just because it’s a cake doesn’t mean I forgot to take out the butter. You’ll just have to eat a sad cake.
Ingredients:
Cake Mix
Water
Sugar
Apple Sauce
Vanilla Extract
Cinnamon
*Note: measurements are fluid depending on what cup you use, so don’t expect tsp. or tbsp. or any of that because I just threw everything together. But then again, I never measure anything on this series.
Instructions:
First, start off with the dry ingredients. Fill 1/3 the cup with cake mix, whether vanilla or chocolate, half that amount of sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon.
If you wonder what the apple sauce is for, that’s to replace the vegetable oil. Eyeball a tsp. and in case you’re doing vanilla, add very little extract, or you’ll taste the ethanol.
Microwave for 1:30. Also, I was curious what would happen if I mixed both the cake mixes, so I did. The mixed one probably came out the best.



I also tried making a frosting for this. I swear it’s frosting, despite what the images look like.
Ingredients:

Peanut Butter (No this doesn’t count as me using butter)
Chocolate
Greek yogurt
Instructions:


In a small dish, microwave the peanut butter and chocolate together for 1:20 to make a liquid. (Hey look! I think that might be the New York City water treatment plant facility. Seems like it’s about to go through primary treatment.)
Apply 3 heaping tablespoons of Greek yogurt and establish it with the peanut-chocolate mix.
Microwave for 20 sec. since the cold yogurt probably slightly solidified the mix a little.
And there you have it. Your incredibly sad frosting.
