5 minutes chocolate cake
Category: Recipe
The microwaved chocolate cake recipe came through my inbox courtesy of Vicvanvinkle whom , in my books, has upped the ante in baking. She has, single-handedly perfected the art of laziness in baking in its purest form! I like! 😀
I’m no expert but I’m a big believer of doing things from scratch (ok, so I admit I’m a retarded cooking snob) .I just believe they taste better. In this case, that means I’d rather work with proper baking time using a conventional oven. But, out of curiosity I might just try this instant 5-minute cake one of these days.
Here is the recipe if you are curious and want to give it a go:
