Ricoeur Cake
Okay, the recipe technically calls it a "5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake", but since I left out chocolate and was having a break from spending my entire Saturday getting my head around appropriation, mimesis, time and narrative I chose to call it a Ricoeur Cake.
Four tablespoons flour - I used a mixture of wheat and rye flour.
A sprinkling of baking powder.
Three tablespoons sugar. The original recipe said four, but I though that might be a wee bit too much.
Two tablespoons of [insert here]. The original recipe specified cocoa, but I went for a mixture of hazelnut meal, cinnamon, cloves and allspice.
Mix dry ingredients into a mug. Add
Three tablespoons milk.
Three tablespoons oil.
One egg (via a ramekin or other receptacle of course).
Mix again and microwave for three minutes. Hang the washing while waiting.
Let stand for a bit after the "ping!", then turn out onto a plate and eat. I like to add a dollop of cream just to offset any health benefits I may have accrued with the adding of rye flour and removal of sugar.
I hope you're all having a good weekend...
