Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

There seems to be some interest in this as I am getting hits on my site looking for recipes and ways to do this, so, I’m going to help you all out-a bit.

In the December 2006 edition of Southern Lady magazine, there is an article on Jo’s Whipping Cream Pound Cake. Now, I did try this recipe and for me, it contained too much sugar. The author of the article wrote that she ‘tweaked’ the baking time and created ‘Cuppa Cakes’ mini cakes baked in oven safe tea cups. The teacups pictured look quite a bit more substantial than your run-of-the-mill teacup.

I would recommend starting out with a ramekin then graduating to ceramic, oven-safe mugs then ceramic, oven-safe teacups. I don’t know if I would risk a teacup but perhaps you could purchase some at a local thrift shop so you don’t risk breaking grandma’s antique china.

I hope this helps and here is a link to
