    It doesn't taste as good as a properly cooked cake, I'll try my next one with butter instead of olive oil.

    In ANY baking recipe that calls for oil, you should promptly replace it with butter (admitedly, you should probably use unsalted butter).


    I will be trying this latter, once I actually nab some cocoa powder. And I guess I need self rising flour.....


    wth is self rising flour? flour w/ baking powder in it already?


    Yes, it is.

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Self-rising flour can be created by combining 1½ teaspoons of baking powder with a ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 cup of all-purpose flour. This substitute equals one cup of self-rising flour.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    4 tbl == 1/4 cup
    so,
    4 tbl flour
    3/8 tsp baking powder
    1/8 tsp salt

    assuming you can measure stuff out like that <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Or just make 4 at a time (make a full cup of self rising flour) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    What was that cookie recipe that went around the net for a while, only if you put it in the oven it caught on fire?

    That rocked.

    Seems like you'd need one heck of a big mug for this.

    With zero experience with english recipes I accidentally used only baking powder instead of flour. The results were kind of chaotic. I had no idea so much could flow from so little. I even tried to taste it but the burning sensation when the goo hit my tongue stopped any further tries to ingest it.

    I made it in a standard coffee cup. It rose up out of the top a bit but it didn't fall over.

    this does sound crazy enough to work, but my question is this - if you're going through most of the effort of cooking (measuring, mixing, breaking eggs, getting stuff dirty that you will have to wash, etc.), why not make a full cake or batch of brownies that will last a while? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Seeing as I enjoy cooking and baking enough that I once spent five hours making a chocolate cake from scratch the proper way... I don't think I'll be touching microwave cake <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />
