Nutella cake in a mug

I usually don't post any recipes on my blog, since I am no expert baker..Just a self taught!
This is a recipe that I found at www.livelovepasta.com/. Such an easy and delightful recipe. Anyone can do it and doesn't consume time, a max of 15 mins. If you are craving for a chocolate cake and  not in the mood to bake a big one, just try this!



Recipe:

  • 4 tbsp fine sugar
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 4 tbsp self raising flour
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp nutella
  • 1 egg beaten slightly, just use a fork!
Add all these ingredients one by one in a large microwave safe mug. Whisk the ingredients with fork until its all smooth. Pop it into the oven and microwave for 2.5 - 3 mins. Top it with a tbsp of nutella and indulge in this luscious treat!

Gumpaste Orchid


This is my first attempt at sugar orchid. Its been a long time since I got Scott Clark Woolley's  Sugar orchids DVD. I love the way he teaches and makes the orchid so beautifully. Was so afraid to start it and also worried about the time frame that I need to commit. But after attempting the cymbidium orchid, now I am sure I can make these any time.

A closer look at the throat of the orchid.


It was very beautiful! This sure is one of my proudest creation!
