Sundae Sunday Traditions

As our children grow it becomes more and more apparent how important family traditions are. So even though the kids may complain about something we do regularly, or as family tradition, they get totally bent out of shape if we forget.

One of the traditions that we have that no one complains about is

Sundae Cake on Sunday.

Enjoy!

The recipe link (because I am way too lazy to type it all in) is

Chocolate Mug Cake

Just so we are all clear - I got this recipe from another Mormon Mommy Blogger and did get her permission to share.

For the times in your life when you need a good shot of chocolate ... quickly.

This is best served with a side of vanilla ice cream...

CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour

4 tablespoons sugar

Just a pinch of salt and baking powder

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 egg

3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons oil

3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

a small splash of vanilla extract

1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high).

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
