KidLit Confections: 15 Years of KidLitChat!
Happy birthday, #KidLitChat! As my birthday gift to all of you, I came up with a quick and easy mug cake recipe with ingredients that are common in many pantries, so we can all have a serving of REAL birthday cake as we chat and celebrate 15 wonderful years tonight (16 July 2024)
Place dry ingredients in mug or small bowl.
Stir until well-mixed, removing sugar lumps.
Add liquid ingredients to the mug.
Stir just enough to combine.
Microwave for approximately 45 seconds.
Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips (opt).
Spread melted chocolate to make a frosting.
Enjoy while still warm, or wait to cool completely.
I love cooking and baking and creating new recipes for delicious treats. And I love books and stories--especially KidLit! I especially love the way food and story help to bring us together as friends, family, community. Here are some of my favorite treats, along with the books that helped to inspire the recipes.
