What's cooking? Wednesday - Snack Cakes

As you probably know by now, when I'm stressed I head for the chocolate.   Today is one of those days so I'm making a snack cake.  Snack cakes can be made in a variety of flavors but when I'm stressed, only chocolate will do  :)  A basic one serving snack cake takes less than a minute to make.

Snack Cake

1/4 c. dry cake mix
1 1/2 T. water
handful of chocolate chips (optional)

In small bowl, mix the cake mix and water.  Add chocolate chips.  Microwave for 20-30 seconds.  Let cool if you want or eat warm.  You can also get fancy and top with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.  Surreptitiously sneak your cake into a quiet place, sigh contentedly and eat.

1/4 c. cake mix, 1 1/2 T. water plus a handful of chocolate chips

20 seconds will make a slightly gooey cake, which is what I like.  30 seconds will make a cakey cake.
