It’s posts like this that make me wish I still had a microwave!
i love strawberry too much any movement with strawberry make me fresh fullfiled & tasty.Thanks
how do you get half an egg
I just made this and loved it! Forgot to buy the crappy sponge cakes my husband likes so needed a quick solution. This was perfect. To get half an egg I put an egg in with 6 tbsp milk, beat lightly and then put half in the dry ingredients. I simply cooked the leftover egg/ milk like a half serving of scrambled eggs.
Thank you for this recipe!
Am definately trying this. That 1/2 egg solution makes so much sense, thanks.
[…] cakes, insta-cakes, etc., because the microwave is something not quite as frightening. This is a pin, I actually didn’t think would work as well it […]
I nearly cried when I ate this, soooo good. I used less butter, and made the batter in a measuring cup then layered the strawberries in mug. I loved the cooked stawberry layers plus some fresh ones on top!
yay! so glad you enjoyed it!
In the video you say 2 Tbsp butter but the recipe says 1\4 cup. Which is it?
2 tablespoons makes more sense and looks like what is in the video. Someone needs to correct the printed recipe (4 T. equals 1/2 a stick — a lot of butter!).
Just made this and Loved the ease of it as well as the taste and texture. This state is far to hot to turn an oven on most of the year.
Thank you. Thank you.
