It's really just a matter of time before my kids and I end up in the hospital with raging cases of salmonella. I mean, how many times can we tempt fate before the God-of-Raw-Eggs-and-Uncooked-Batter casts a vengeful eye on us for being so careless?

I have a nasty little habit of mixing up a box of Duncan Hines cake mix (or brownie mix or whatever) with no intention of ever actually putting the batter in a pan and baking it. Usually I get a craving for the sweet concoction, toss it all together (including the three raw eggs) and proceed to hunker down with a spoon. Lest I be called selfish, I hand my kids spoons, too. So the three of us sit there hunched over a bowl of uncooked batter, spooning it into our greedy little mouths like soup.

Yesterday we made Devil's food batter, and as the spoons were clanking together battling for the biggest glob of mix, I couldn't help but think that most people would consider it terribly irresponsible considering the health risks. But I chose to ignore that, and instead considered it a damn good afternoon snack.

Comments:
I do the same thing (haven't actually baked a cake in years) but leave out the egg. It's still pretty tasty.
 
You can use the Egg Beaters stuff that is pre-pasteurized.

in college, we would often make cookie dough with no intention of baking any actual cookies. it used to drive the guys across the street insane that we would consume raw eggs.

last week, a bunch of friends got together, including the aformentioned college group. when i mentioned making cookie dough, one of my friends thought i was insane for actually *making* it, when it comes in handy tubes at the grocery store.
