  1. I have not personally eaten the microwave chocolate cake, but I have been told that it’s sadly pretty nasty.

  2. If you’re using hot chocolate mix of all things, why not just go all the way and keep a box of chocolate brownie mix on hand? You can mix up a couple of tablespoons of a mix that’s actually meant for this purpose and put the rest back in the cupboard for next time, and it’ll work a lot better.

  4. Ugh, so disapointed in the mug cake recipe. It tastes exactly like it sounds. Baked cocoa mix. Thanks for sending the interesting link. No guts, no glory.

  5. I couldn’t get the game link to work – every time I click the play button all it did was refresh the page.

  7. I made a cake-in-a-mug a few weeks ago when I was um, sort of desparate for something chocolate. It was… ok. Not great, certainly, but it got the job done.

    HA! ReCaptcha: Pro butter. Yes, yes I am.

  8. I have made the microwave chocolate cake. I subbed applesauce for 1/2 the oil. I added chocolate chips to it (b/c I had them on hand) and topped it with some whipped cream from a can. It was GOOD. Not mind-blowing, but the effort to output ratio was def. in my favor.

  9. I’m gonna invent a religion where if you smell really bad and are incapable of getting up and taking a shower, then you’re dead.

  10. I made the cake in a mug and enjoyed it.. it might depend on the hot chocolate mix and what you add to it

  11. I *always* substitute applesauce for the oil in baking recipes – and they always come out better! I’ve bookmarked the recipe page..just might try it some day. Cake mixes aren’t common out here, so this may do in a pinch!
