Chocolate Cake in 5 Minutes? Why YES, Please!

Chocolate: I love it. I crave it. I need it. When I came across The 5 Minute Chocolate Cake recipe, I felt as if I'd struck gold. Chocolate cake in 5 minutes served in a coffee mug? Yes! Yes! Yes!


Side note: We cooked it the full 3 minutes the first time and while it was good, it was a bit dense. The next time, I took it out about 30-40 seconds earlier (Yes, I've made it twice now... Oh, okay, three times), and the consistency was lots better. I suppose it depends on your microwave. Enjoy!

Five minutes?!! This would be perfect to have on hand whenever the craving hits. I so love the last photo of the cutie in the corner with a smile as big as Texas! Have a golden day my friend! xoxo

Five minutes? This could be a problem... I may end up making this once a day... maybe I shouldn't even look at the recipe... dangerous.

Those are fun! If you put the Icing Right on Top *Before you cook it* and then when its finished, Flip the cup upside-down onto a plate you will get a molten Lava Cake!

I just made a chocolate cake this morning. It is oh so good. And so easy (even though it takes more than 3 minutes). I think I'm going to post the recipe next week.
