Five minute chocolate cake

[Sirrahsim]

Mmmmm this is not so good for the whole weight loss plan I certainly didn't drop these 15 lbs by eating chocolate cake....

I think I'll try this recipe during naptime today

My co-worker also sent me this recipe. My only question is - - what makes it rise? There is no baking powder or baking soda, so wouldn't it wind up being just like thick cocoa? I will be interested to see how it turns out for those who will try it.

OK, here's the play by play. First, Tyler was so super excited to get to try a baking project!


Then we splashed flour on his face, because it's not really baking if you don't get flour on your nose!


Then we mixed up all of the ingredients and they became the texture of a thick brownie batter


3 minutes later we pulled it out. It rose a little bit but quickly deflated once it was removed from the microwave.


Then we posed with it... because chocolate is wonderful and it deserved to be celebrated.


Then we tasted it....


The texture was similar to oatmeal that has been left out on the counter too long and the flavor was kind of like hot cocoa that was neither hot not very cocoa-y.

Oh well, we tried!

A co-worker sent this to me last week. I was going to try it, but now I guess I don't have to.
Thanks for sharing Missy!

I love these two pics, lol.

I pouted along with you, it just seemed appropriate, lol.

I had tried to make brownies about a month ago, and found I didn't have much cocoa, so I added hot chocolate mix to it. Ummmm.... not so hot, lol. I really wanted a chocolate fix (even though I'm allergic... benedryl is my good friend!), and it just didn't cut it!
