My oven has broken and this cupcake in a mug is the last thing I had bake before the upper heating element has said goodbye.
And this is so handy!
There is a magnificent autumn weather now in Northern Savo, the classic golden fall (have a look at carousel). Finnish language has even a separate word for this time of year – ‘ruska’. I’ve asked my Finnish friends to comment if there was a connection between ‘ruska’ and Russia, but no, the word came from the Sami language.
However it seems like the cake in mug will be the most favourite recipe of this autumn for me and my beloved.
Warmly. Cozy. Frienldy. Quickly. Chocolately. Funny. (stop my somebody)
Let’s start as soon as possible so as not to miss a wonderful autumn day.
