Here I sit . . . in my wonderful hotel room in desperate need of cake.
Ummm – One problem . . . no oven!!!
What do you do????
Cry? I may have for a new minutes . . . after a 14 hour flight with a 2 1/2 year old who some how managed to sleep a total of you guessed it – 1 hour!
Ummm what?!
No kidding!
Somehow I manage to recall a recipe discovered in the pages of Steph’s Bite by Bite (bless her beautiful heart for sharing such a wonderful jetlag saving bowl of deliciousness) I had stashed away in case of such an emergency.
Seriously, from now on I will be sure I have a packet cake mix in my pantry at home.
If you know whats good for you, you should do the same.
I mean it!
Delicious single serve cake made with 3 ingredients, in 2 mins . . . there is nothing more to say really . . . well apart from,
umm yes please, do want!!!!!
