Naked Kitchen Single Serving Snack Cake

               http://www.thenakedkitchen.com/single-serve-snack-cake/
Ingredients:
1 tbsp unsweetened apricot preserves/jam (blueberry and plum are good too)
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup low fat unsweetened almond milk or other non-dairy milk
1/2 tbsp ground flax
oil to grease baking dish
Fresh fruit to garnish (optional)

Preparation:
In a smal bowl mix together the milk and flax seed. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Stir in the apricot preserves.
Add in all the other dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Grease a small microwave safe dish (I used a 7 ounce ramekin) and spoon in the dough.
Microwave on high 1:45 -2 minutes or until the center is set.
Dig in and eat while still warm.

2 heaping tablespoons of chocolate cake mix
2 tbsp. diet coke
1 thin mint cookie (or keebler alternative)
optional: vanilla ice cream and fudge sauce

Instructions:
1. Grease and oven safe mug or ramekin with shortening.
2. Add cake mix. Mix in diet coke, until smooth and cake batter-like.
3. Press a thin mint into the batter until the batter comes up a little over the edges of the cookie.
4. Either bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes OR microwave for 60 seconds (as always, you will get the better results by baking).
5. Top with sundae sauce and ice cream if desired (which it will be).

Low Calorie Alternatives:Use a reduced sugar cake mix
