I saw Lee Drummond bake a single serving cake in a mug and had to try her recipe. I modified the recipe and increased the time as our microwave is 700 watt. My sister was surprised to learn that the cake rises and she suggested it would be great torn up in a triffle or strawberry shortcake.

I modified the recipe for a vanilla cake in a mug as follows:
1/4 cup flour
3 Tablespoons sugar (I used only 1 Tablespoon)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 Tablespoons of Milk
2 Tablespoons of oil (I used only 1 Tablespoon of canola oil)
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 strawberry or equivalent fruit (optional)
Using a fork, mix the dry ingredients in a microwave proof cup (flour, sugar, baking powder).
Add the liquid ingredients and mix with the same fork.
Microwave for 90 seconds (110 seconds for a 700 watt microwave.)
Enjoy

Violin Cake with Musical Notes, "Happy Birthday to You".
Eggless, Dairy free, Patriotic Cake modified from recipes used during WWII (first given to me by my friend Nina) when eggs and milk were rationed. An acid, such as vinegar, combines with the baking soda in the recipe to create bubbles that enable this cake to raise in the oven. It tastes like a conventional cake and can be made in many flavors. Frosting is made from Crisco and Confectioners (powdered) sugar. No food coloring is used in this cake. The letters are made by adding cocoa powder to the frosting and the colored frosting is made by adding a tolerated jam. The edging decoration on this cake was made with grape jam to create the purple decorative edge. It took time to create but was made with much love for Andrew from Auntie Rosa. Please note: Andrew is now 15 and will be playing his precious violin with his school orchestra at Lincoln Center of the Performing Arts in New York City in 2008!
