5-minute chocolate cake for one

[bmccasland]

I've cooked in a pyrex bowl - but a large cafe-au-lait cup would keep the cook over from occuring. Best while still warm, with ice cream....

I just did it! I followed the recipe exactly (for the first time ) and it turned out great. I decided on power level 7 for my microwave, which seemed right. It is a little scary to see it head so far above the top of the mug, but it didn't pour over the sides. It was kind of like souffle. The chocolate chips all rise to the top to create a ganache-like section there. Yum.

It's definitely shareable!

Now that I've done it the correct way, I'm going to see how substituting apple sauce for some of the oil works, or maybe mashed banana.

Glad I rode today!

Please report back for those of us who didn't ride today!
apple sauce has worked wonders for me in the past. The other thing to try would be pumpkin - but you wouldn't need the whole can and I guess that's counter to the point of the recipe.

I got the recipe from a friend a while back and tried it. I found that using whole wheat flour made it a bit dry so either increase the wet ingredients or decrese the flour. Quite yummy!

arg, have three more hours of work before I can go home and make it! sounds perferct for me

Pumpkin is a great idea! I'll try that next.

I ran the recipe through the caloriecounter.com and the grand total, without the optional (?) chocolate chips is:




864!



Definately only for long ride days.

I ate 3/4s of one (with the chips)! Oh, and I had french fries that day, too. It's a miracle I'm not as big as a house!

OK, since newfsmith already owns the "killjoy" title, I'll add that after reading through the recipe I plunked it into the weight watchers recipe creator and it said it is 23 points

To put that in perspective - my base point count for an entire day is only 18. Sadly, I don't think I'll be indulging any time soon.

That's what I was thinking! YUM!
