One Minute Cake

In desire for a sweet treat? Don't want to make a whole cake... Here is the thing:

You need:

1 box of cake mix (any kind you like, I tried it first with yellow cake mix)

1 small box instant pudding and pie filling (again, any flavor you like, I did vanilla)

1 egg

1 tbsp oil

1tbsp water

Mix cake mix and Pudding powder together (I used a zip lock bag, so the rest of the mixture can be stored in there)

Use a large coffee mug (about the size 1 1/2 to 2 cups) and mix egg, oil, water and 1/2 cup of the cake/pudding mix, stir well, until you have smooth dough

Microwave 65 sec.

DONE!

for additional sweetness, add before microwave 1 tbsp frosting on top of the dough. The frosting will sink to the ground of the mug, during cooking time, if you flip the cake out of the mug on a plate, the frosting is on top!

I will post pictures later, was too busy to eat that thing as long as it was warm!

Mandelmakronen

Bekannt sind ja jedem die Kokos Makronen. Aber Chris mag kein Kokos also musste ich mir was anderes einfallen lassen. Aber zunaechst ein kleines Bilderraetzel: Na sieht das nicht aus wie ein schoener wohlgeformter.... Apfel Popo??? Und da frag ich mich warum es Apfelhintern heisst und nicht Eierar.... aber nu gut...

Also hier das Rezept:

2 Eiweisse

1Tl Zitronensaft

130 g Zucker

2 Trpf Bittermandelaroma

100g gemahlene Mandelkerne

50 g Mandelblaettchen

Die Eiweisse mit dem Zitronensaft auf hoechster Stufe mit der Kuechenmaschine schlagen, bis sie ganz steif sind, dabei den Zucker und das Mandelaroma einrieseln lassen.

Vorsichtig die gemahlenen Mandeln und die Mandelblaettchen unterheben.

Mit zwei feuchten Teeloeffeln kleine Haeufchen auf Backpapier setzen.

Im vorgeheizten Backofen bei 130 Grad 40 min trocknen lassen, auf dem Blech auskuehlen lassen.
