You're only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake

I thought I had no food in the house, then I clicked this thread and now I eat merrily. Hurray!!!!!

I just made some, didnt have any chocolate chips or vinilla extract!

Its rather rubbery and it only took 1 minute befor the whole thing was popping out of the mug, after 2 minutes (900 watt) i took it out and it was cooked so eating.

Next time, need golden syrup and cadburys milk choc chips!

I have milk, oil and a mug. I fear the missing ingredients will cripple this however I try to make it.

Put everything in, mixed it all up and popped it in the microwave then as I was putting the eggs back in the fridge noticed they were a week out of date

Looked yummy though.

Just done this in a 800w for about 5-6 mins!

Well nice

Will make some tomorrow when I have the ingredients!

Firstly, fill a fairly deep bowl with water and carefully lower the egg into the water.

A very fresh egg will immediately sink to the bottom and lie flat on its side. This is because the air cell within the egg is very small. The egg should also feel quite heavy.

As the egg starts to lose its freshness and more air enters the egg, it will begin to float and stand upright. The smaller end will lie on the bottom of the bowl, whilst the broader end will point towards the surface. The egg will still be good enough to consume, however, if the egg fully floats in the water and does not touch the bottom of the bowl at all, it should be discarded, as it will most likely be bad.


A bad egg will also feel extremely light in weight and give off a pungent smell.

Pro tip: hot chocolate powder is not a suitable replacement for cocoa.

It must be one of those things you always wonder about but never try. At least we know now.

I think cocoa can be used for hot chocolate though.

I ended up with this horrible mess of light-brown rubber on top of dark-brown runny liquid. It wasn't pleasant.

yep just tried one, taste was weird maybe cos i didnt have vanilla too

BUT! i made a plain one with only 3 spoons of sugar, lemon rind and a dash of lemon flavouring for 4mins. turned out pretty damn good, i just finished it off with sliced bananas and ambrosia custards

It's chocolate cake in a cup. I imagine your pics would have been much the same.

 

[SkeeterUK]

Depends whos looked nicer tho in the end.

 

[Sinque]

What's a tablespoon? Also how big of a heap do you put on the spoon? Or do you have it smooth?

Women make it look so easy...

 

[grudas]

i soooo want it now :O

Do I get extra points for using a "chocolate" mug? Mind you, I think I overcooked it as with the photograph, but nevermind..
