Ashley Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Tastes ok, maybe a little rubbery in texture :P 0_0 Thats exactly the mug I used!! Ours tasted okay. Tad dry but I blame that on the wheat free flour and alpro soya.
McPhee Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 This is genius! Tempted to make one at work tomorrow!
EEVILMURRAY Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Also, its true, Jordan does have a super cock. Mine's Superer.
Emasher Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I made it in too big of a mug. Not the best cake ever, but its not bad. I'll make it again, only smaller.
Coolness Bears Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I used my Worlds greatest 18 Year Old. So like Daniel and Ashley's mugs but not quite! Me happy and excited about what is about to go down. Thinking it was a diaster I stuck it in the microwave for a bit longer. This is what it ended up like. It looks horrible but tasted really nice. I will do it again but in a smaller mug as this seemed to big! Yay!
dan-likes-trees Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 That was AWESOME We made two, the first just with plain flower which was pretty good but abit thick so the next time we added a tiny bit of bicarbonate soda which made it turn out about 3 times the size... will definitely do it again, it's rather awesome to amaze people with :P Pics followed hwn I bluettoth them off my friend
Ganepark32 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Still haven't tried this. Will try it next weekend when my parents go away otherwise they'll just moan about it. And I think I'll try and see if I can make it like those melt in the middle sponge things. Shouldn't be too hard. Take it out half way through cooking and put the choco in the middle and finish the cooking. Should work, in theory at least.
ShadowV7 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Just made this. Added chocolate chips into aswell, though my mug almot got completely covered with the cake Quite tasty, better than I thought. I'll be doing this again for sure. Easy, quick and tastes good.
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Is the oil like sunflower oil or something else?
bluey Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 i think mine turned out pretty well (and cost-effective)
sarah♥ Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I am SO tempted to make this, however, chemistry revision calls me will def be making it tonight whilst watching housewives
Jav_NE Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I will def give this a go. Do you beat the egg first or just crack it in?
Supergrunch Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Before: During: After: The ultimate result: Eating currently. It's quite nice, although I probably should have stirred it a bit better.
Caris Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Anyone got salmonella yet? Still haven't made mine, need eggs!
Dyson Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Nope, I'm still alive! Might make another one tonight with my flatmate and see if I can perfect the recipe somewhat.
Supergrunch Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 You can only get salmonella from stuff that's still "wet" - provided the cake is cooked through, it should be fine.
ReZourceman Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 + Basically any Lion Quality (ie all) eggs can't have salmonella anyway, and are perfectly fine to eat raw..... ......I think. Thats correct isn't it smart people?

Thats correct isn't it smart people? Your correct, you only get it from infected eggs i think... Got me wondering now.
Jav_NE Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Totally unrelated to the cake, but what the heck is white chocolate made out of it? We got into this discussion the other day. Im too lazy to look it up, but i was sure it was only called chocolate because it looks the same and has the same texture. It has no cocoa in it and so therefore is not officially a chocolate. Right?!

Right?! Yeah technically not chocolate, its like milk n' sugar' n' shit.
Supergrunch Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Your correct, you only get it from infected eggs i think...Got me wondering now. Well I think the lion means "this egg doesn't have salmonella, unless it does and you try to sue us, in which case we never said it had it." Basically, they've been checked over, and probably washed, but there's a tiny chance that there could be salmonella actually inside the egg. If this is the case, you could get ill if the egg isn't cooked through, but you can also kill it by heating the egg at about 42 celcius for a while, which is hot enough to kill the bacteria but not coagulate the egg proteins - good to do if you're poaching eggs or something. And another precaution is to crack the egg on a flat surface rather than on the rim of a cup, as using a rim can force bacteria from the surface into the contents of the egg. The other thing is that bacteria tend to be confined to the white of fresh eggs, so if that's solid you're okay, but in older eggs the yolk membrane degrades a bit so you can find salmonella there too. But salmonella isn't really that bad if you do actually get it - it's like norovirus or something, fever and D&V for a couple of days. I've had it before, albeit mildly, and it wasn't much of a problem - it only is if you're old, infirm, pregnant etc. Anyway, I'll shut up about eggs now, I'm a bit obsessed with culinary science applied to them. Totally unrelated to the cake, but what the heck is white chocolate made out of it? We got into this discussion the other day. Im too lazy to look it up, but i was sure it was only called chocolate because it looks the same and has the same texture. It has no cocoa in it and so therefore is not officially a chocolate. Right?! Cocoa butter, milk and sugar - they don't add cocoa powder, unlike in normal chocolate. Which means that yes, it doesn't count as chocolate.
Strider Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Mine tasted like crap and looked like it as well. It turned out a sort of grey colour and didn't look the slightest bit appertising.
