Five minute chocolate cake

[Sirrahsim]

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 loved the pics and the commentary, well done you two.,Tyler is indeed growing up fast and a real cutie patootie, lady killer in process.

Well I enjoyed watching you guys make it probably more than I would enjoy the cake itself. Too bad it wasn't so yummy but looks like some good Mom and Tyler bonding time.

Tried it today and mine turned out great. Didn't have nuts or chocolate chips. High on our microwave is 1000 watts. Also, after the buzzer went off, I left it in the microwave for a few more minutes. Maybe that makes a difference?

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!
