I could have sworn the dialogue was different in this Ernie and Bert clip when I saw it as a kid.

Hmm.

By the popular request of abso fucking lutely NOBODY, here's a repeat post of the recipe for Chocolate Cake In A Coffee Cup...

I made this again a couple of days ago.

You need a standard sized coffee cup, something to mix with, a microwave oven, and the ingredients mentioned below.

I prefer mixing this up in a separate bowl and pouring it into the coffee cup.

Chocolate Cake In A Coffee Cup:

4 Tablespoons cake flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons cooking oil

Combine the egg, the milk, and the oil.

Add the dry ingredients all at once.

Stir until it looks like cake batter, because that's what it is.

Pour into coffee cup and nuke on high for 3 minutes. If it looks like it's going to bulge out of the cup high enough to topple over, stop the nuke at the first minute for about ten seconds. After it settles back down into the cup, keep going for a total of 3 minutes.

Get a knife or a fork and loosen the sides. Plop it out onto a plate, cool, and enjoy.

Sometimes I add a few walnuts, but the basic recipe is pretty good.

Also, today is the first day of Ramadan.

That's it. Have a good Saturday.
