Text Box: General Cooking Directions for the Recipes in the Easy Microwave Desserts in a Mug® Cookbook To prepare the mixes, use a microwave safe mug that will hold at least 12 ounces (or 1-1/2 cups) of liquid. Accurate measuring is important—all amounts listed are for level measurements. These recipes were tested in a 1000 Watt microwave oven. Since microwave wattages vary, you might need to make slight adjustments in cooking times and power settings for your oven. Don’t overcook your cakes or they will be tough and dry. A bit of moisture on top after baking is normal. The dessert mixes that require the addition of eggs are made using egg white powder. Egg white powder (a well-known brand is called Just Whites®) is found in most large supermarkets on the baking aisle. You can also use meringue powder found in the cake decorating section of most discount stores and craft stores. Some of the mix recipes call for vanilla powder, but this ingredient is optional. When preparing the dessert, you can substitute vanilla extract for the vanilla powder if you like, or simply omit it from the recipe. Vanilla powder is measured exactly the same as vanilla extract and adds extra flavor to the dry mixes. Two sources for ordering vanilla powder are: Barry Farm Enterprises, 419-228-4640, www.barryfarm.com and Cook’s Flavoring Co., 800-735-0545, www.cooksvanilla.com. Some large grocery stores and gourmet stores also carry vanilla powder. Another option for adding vanilla flavor to the mixes is to substitute vanilla sugar for the granulated sugar called for in each recipe. A recipe for Vanilla Sugar is below.
