\"MikeandPaulaParker.jpg\"<\/span>In this week’s Cooking With Christian Music feature, we go off the stage and behind the scenes, with music writer (and my dear friend) Paula Parker.
\nPaula (pictured here with her husband and fellow writer, Mike) is one of those folks who covers entertainment for magazines and websites, in addition to dozens of other interesting and creative things she’s involved in. While music fans see the artists on stage, there are dozens of people behind the scenes writing bios, interviewing artists for articles, and doing other invisible stuff that keeps the industry running. Currently, you can check out Paula’s coverage of Christian entertainment <\/a>at Examiner.com.
\nOh, and did I mention that she’s a chocoholic? That explains her recipe, for Chocolate Cup Cakes:<\/p>\n


\nChocolate “Cup” Cake<\/strong>
\nfrom Christian music writer Paula Parker
\nSpray cooking spray inside of a large microwaveable soup mug. Use a large microwaveable soup mug or something of equal size. Everything is mixed in the cup.
\nAdd:
\n4 Tbsp all purpose flour
\n4 Tbsp sugar
\n2 Tbsp cocoa
\nMix well…
\nAdd:
\n1 egg
\nMix well…
\nAdd:
\n3 Tbsp milk
\n3 Tbsp oil
\nSplash of vanilla
\nMix well…
\nAdd:
\n3 Tbsp chocolate chips (or peanut butter, mint, white chocolate, whatever)
\nMicrowave on High for 3 minutes.
\nYou can eat it directly out of the mug or turn it out onto a plate. The toppings are infinite; chocolate syrup, ice cream, whipped cream, raspberries, caramel sauce….
\nThis will serve 2 normal people or 1 woman suffering from PMS.
\nYou can read more from Paula Parker on her Examiner.com page.<\/a>
