So, I've been looking up mug cakes for my boyfriend's birthday, as I want to surprise him on the week-end getaway I'm setting up for him. I encountered this recipe for any flavor mug cakes:

Any idea how this would be adapted for the trail? Sarah, I'm thinking about your steam baker on the trail, seems like there should be some way to adapt this to add water (maybe oil?) and bake. Add milk and egg powder, maybe?
Mar 17, 2012 at 8:57 pm #1855387I have steam baked many mixes and they all turn out well – it keeps them moist! For example, ever see those No-Pudge brownie mixes? Those work great!!
Egg powder will make the cake of choice richer, oil you won't need much.
Do you do Pinterest? If so I have seen a ton of micro cake in a mug recipes pop up :-) For example I made this one –

And yes, with a big enough pot and some foil you can do the fish. Moist!!Mar 18, 2012 at 8:37 pm #1855755Nope, don't know what that is.
So are you saying that you can just use regular cake mix and add water, no milk or egg powder addition necessary?
Mar 19, 2012 at 7:07 am #1855874Yes you can :-) Now then, dry milk and eggs will make it richer of course.
Pinterest is a time sucking vac that gives me so many ideas ;-) Although they have an entire section devoted to the outdoors as well. I warned ya all!!
