The real cupcake

I already tweeted it earlier today, but I do not come away with not sharing it here too.
After getting up this morning I did some regular direction-less surfing around the net. I found this coincidently on YouTube and had to try it out:

Here is my slightly changed version of this chocolate-coffee cake:

2 spoons of sugar
2 spoons of all-purpose flour
a pinch of backing pouder
1 spoon of cocoa
1 egg
1 teaspoon of (raps) oil
1 teaspoon of coffee
plenty of hacked hazelnut

Simply give everything of the above list into a BIG mug and stir it completely until its fairly smooth. Then put it into the microwave for 2.5 minutes.

This recipe is totally impressive, it's simple yet tasty, it's quickly done (it was nearly faster than doing scrambled eggs and everything for breakfast) and it didn't even turn the kitchen into a mess, which is the normal result of me cooking. :)

What bothered me lately: since I try out various recipes from the English speaking world, I noticed how self-centred the shops around here are. Of course, when I try Japanese meals I am used to not finding the right ingredients in the local shops, but why do they not even sell chocolate chips ... you cannot make any nice chocolate cake without proper chocolate chips >.< (The only chance you have is to choke the chocolate bar yourself ... not nice) Also things like vanilla extract or various aromas. You just get that stuff, which is needed for the standard recipes from German cooking books. stupid

PS.: And yet I did cover another region in my Blog ^^
