As I am now living in a culture in which cheese is its own food group and a part of almost every meal, weight gain has become a concern. To keep an eye on things, Tiff and I decided to purchase a bathroom scale for our place. The best thing is that it measures in kilograms, so for the first time since sixth grade, my weight is once again in the double digits (fistpump!). After doing our conversions into pounds, we both realized that we’ve lost some weight… or the scale is improperly calibrated. Let’s stick with the first one.

To celebrate, we made Mug Cakes. Without a shred of hyperbole, I can say that they have changed my outlook on everything and immeasureably improved my life.

Step 1: Make cake batter.

There are a bunch of recipes through the link above, but we just used a store bought mix.

Step 2: Spoon into cups and microwave for 3.5ish minutes.

Step 3: Decorate and eat your Mug Cake. Sing Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer,” but replace “prayer” with “Mug Cake.”

Yup, I’m glad we bought that scale, but I’m definitely not getting on it again any time soon.
