So I saw this recipe for microwaved chocolate cake floating around the internet, and didn't think much of it. Until last night, when I wanted cake. Had a passionate craving for something chocolaty and delicious. Everything thing I found was just too much work for 11 o'clock at night. Cake flour, self rising flour, 3 tablespoons of egg whites.... Way too complicated. I eventually stumbled upon one that seemed fairly simple and tried it out.
Not the best cake I've ever had, but not horrendous. I mean if you really needed a single serving cake in a pinch, it was better then running out to the store for one of those prepackaged micro cakes that are advertised on TV as being a secretive, guilty moment dessert.
The texture wasn't anything to brag about-- dense, dry, slightly chewy. But cakey. And that's what counts. Lots of Google searching proved hard to find anything besides chocolate, until I found a yellow cake version that seemed like it might be even better.
