Ingredients

1/3 cup instant coffee
2 tablespoons hot water
1 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12-ounce) tub whipped topping

When I first looked at this recipe I thought it was the cutest dessert. I'm 17 and aspire to be a chef but I never really... thought I could do this since I'm not the best of bakers. Oh my gosh! How easy and fun it was! They tasted delicous and my friends thought it was cool. I will deffinetly do this again! :)Read more

Disaster
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Not sure what went wrong...I'm an experienced cook, but tried making these for a bunko party. Only change I made--tried... baking them in a smaller cup than the 8-oz ones Sandra used. Despite filling them proportionately less, they overflowed, and literallly left nothing baked in the actual mug. In addition, what I tasted of the cooked bits on the outside of the cups had no coffee flavor, just a strange vanilla-y taste. For me, a waste of ingredients and time. I ended up making a fabulous flourless chocolate cake in the hour I had left before guests arrived. Read more
