Chocolate cake - in 5 minutes

Yes - that's chocolate cake in a cup, in a microwave.


I haven't actually tried it. For all I know, it could be awful. There is definite evidence in the comments that it doesn't always work, and you end up with a cup of horrible chocolate sludge. The photos make it look part delicious, part gross.

But then again, it takes five minutes, and what if it works? For all those times you wanted a quick snack but didn't want to go to the store - you owe it to yourself to try.  

If anyone does, please report back here. You can also try 5-minute spice cake (no photos, though).

Unanimous initial reactions from Cristin, Jessica, Briana and Greg: "Oh."

Very spongy texture and a strong chocolate flavor. Could use a little more sugar and maybe less oil. For an 8 minute endeavor (it takes me a long time to measure with a tablespoon) pretty darn good.

I sort of enjoyed it, in a wish-I-were-stoned kinda way. Next time: vanilla ice cream.

If you're going to make a cake, do it right, don’t use a microwave.
