The fastest way to obesity.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Mix all the dry ingredients together in a mug.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Add the wet ingredients and stir away. This is pre-stirring and I was excited by the little globes of milk trapped in the oil. You probably aren't though...


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    If you're feeling clever like I was, you can decanter the batter into two some other mugs. This is a child's peter rabbit mug. I took care not to drown Peter, but as we'll see later, I definitely over filled. (Do not overfill.)

    It's best to keep the batter to the bottom two thirds of the cup.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Microwave on full power for three minutes. I think my microwave is 800 watts. If yours is more powerful, do two minutes. You can always do an extra minute, but you can't take minutes away once it's burnt.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    This is why it's important not to overfill. Poor Peter Rabbit and his family have been obliterated by molten chocolate goo.

    If you click on the image you can see the giant Elvis quiff that came out of the cup also- which I find quite impressive.

The Jar cakes are lovely, but they're ovenny so they'd taste better- I'll be honest! This one's just all about speed and a quick chocolate fix. Mmm!

This looks really yummy! You could even mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and keep them on hand for any chocolate "emergencies".

***********Just an AMERICAN note. What they call CORN FLOUR we call CORN STARCH. So Americans beware :-) You don't need to by finely ground CORNMEAL! (also CASTER SUGAR can be made in a food processer)Now back to my microware for a tasty treat!

Karen B. made these earlier for me and a friend... they were awesome! And after we were part way through eating them we though of adding a liitle Bailey's as a topper... the cake really absorbs it (a little goes a long way)... super tasty!!!! Thanks for the how-to!!!!!!

yeah, so i totally tried this
and it overflowed hxc
hah
there was like half a cooked cake on the bottom of my microwave

it turned out good, but i think it could be better
more chocolaty and such
i might add melted bakers chocolate as opposed to cocoa next time

but this is definitely good for a quick cake fix
=]
thanks

There was far too much baking powder used in this recipe and it has given me a sore stomach so I suggest cutting it down to half a teaspon. Other than that it was delicious.
