microwave chocolate cake in a mug!

Took a stab at this recipe for a single-serving MICROWAVE cake, despite my skepticism!

 

It took about 75 seconds in my microwave, not the 30-40 dictated in the recipe -- all microwaves are different, so this wasn't too surprising.

 

It also tasted a bit "off," which I assume was due to my sloppy measuring. I mean, it was my usual style of measuring, but when you're working with such small quantities, precision really matters. It tasted good, but there was an aftertaste that suggested the baking-powder ratio was a little high. So I'll be more careful next time.

 

Cake was removed from mug in mostly one piece, with the top sticking to the bottom of the mug. Not surprising. What resulted was an ugly little cake with a weird aftertaste, but I'll try to make it again some time, and do a better job measuring ingredients. Mostly I can't believe it worked.
