Yes, This Was My Breakfast

Day 267 (23rd May)

Hands down one of the best breakfasts I've had! I made hot chocolate and coffee cake which paired so well with the stormy weather.

Here's the recipe:

For the coffee cake (One serving):

Ingredients:

• Two tablespoons of coffee

• Three to four tablespoons (taste test!) of powdered sugar

• Half a cup of milk

• Two tablespoons of olive oil

• One teaspoon of baking powder

• Half a cup of flour

Directions:

• Whisk the coffee and the milk together.

• Whisk the oil and the sugar together till just combined.

• Add the coffee (with milk) to the oil and sugar.

• Sift in the sugar, flour, and baking powder.

• Stir everything with a spoon and add it to a greased microwave-safe dish.

• Microwave for two minutes, or the cake starts pulling from the sides of the container.

Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

For the hot chocolate (One serving):

Ingredients:

• Half a cup of milk

• One tablespoon of cornstarch

• Five cubes (about fifty grams) of chopped dark chocolate

• One tablespoon of powdered sugar

• One tablespoon of cocoa powder

Directions:

• Whisk all ingredients except the chocolate in a pan.

• Simmer it over medium heat.

• Gradually add the chocolate.

• Heat till the mixture thickens (about three to four minutes).

Recommended: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream!
