For fun, try looking at this thread without reading, just looking at the pictures pretending it's the colonic irrigation thread.

Damn you vile temptress!! :mad:

Might try the marshmallows tonight as I'm about to finish up the first one......

The sheer amount of sugar tho going into this is enough to scare me into healthy eating for life... shows how long its been since I've done much cooking...

I can see a lot of "I got heart disease from chocolate cake!" threads approaching in the near future.

selfraising or plain flour?

I tried both. same effect tbh.

secretspy · 23 Sep 2009 at 17:11

if you stir the flour too much once it's mixed in you stretch the gluten and it doesn't rise properly

just made the cake with marshmallows...this time only did it for 1 min 30 at 700W looks like a much better cake, more spongy.

Will let you know if I survive

I also added golden syrup so this is going to be a huge sugar boost!

omg...sooooo gooooooood!! the sponge is so light! its like heaven in a bowl!

I've had to take a breather from it lol still got half to go

Rroff · 23 Sep 2009 at 17:14

Self raising works better... but with this you probably won't completely screw it up if its plain.

ben90 · 26 Sep 2009 at 01:59

The only problem with this is 4 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR?

No thanks.

YES!!!

Added 5 halved glace cherries to the mixture, and used 3 TBSP butter instead of oil. Baked (lol) for 3:20 ish @ 800W. Words can barely describe the awesome!

And on that note, after finishing that rather unecessarily large microwave cake, I feel rather ill.

Was a fine piece of baking though.
