Ok internet, we need to discuss something I recently discovered - MUG CAKES!  Yes, mini single-serving cakes you make in 3 minutes from stuff you probably have lying around your kitchen!  Amazing.  Dawson is eating one riiiight now and it's awesome.  I don't really invent recipes for baking (since they require...you know, precision) but if you google "mug cake" you should come up with a plethora of options.  Here is the one we (Dawson) made:

Peanut Butter Mug Cake


recipe from//Kirbie's Cravings 4 tablespoons all purpose flour 4 tablespoons white granulated sugar 1/4 tsp baking powder 1 egg 3 tablespoons peanut butter 3 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons vegetable oil Combine all ingredients in an oversized coffee mug. Whisk well with a small whisk until smooth. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes and then take it out to check to see if it is done. If not, continue to microwave in thirty second intervals.  You don’t want to overcook it or it will become rubbery. You can also make this into two smaller-sized mugs. You can mix the batter all in one mug and then pour half into another mug. Make sure you cook each one individually. Delicious.
