right, that cake... note to self : buy eggs, so you can make the 5 minute chocolate cake.

Do I correctly infer that there are chocolate cakes that last longer than 5 minutes?

Not around here, either. Well, maybe 6 minutes if it's a very large cake...

Rant : There be eggs in the 5 minute chocolate cake !!!!

Who else has tried the 5 minute chocolate cake? I tried it a week before it made it to this forum --- and thought it was a bit heavy. However, perhaps that was because I ate the whole thing, rather than making it be two servings.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 11-06-2008, 01:56 PM

I'm planning on trying it later tonight, when we will have some eggs

DixieGal · 11-06-2008, 02:14 PM

Recipe, please?

P.S. I recommend mixing it in a small bowl, NOT in the mug itself. The mug is 3/4 full when you put it in the microwave. It *is* quite interesting, watching the cake rise straight up out of the mug!

That's exactly why Betty Crocker uses a bowl instead of a cup.

Add water, stir, microwave, and let it cool long enough that you don't burn your tongue...

Oh My Lord! How did I miss that? Some of my co-workers are getting large bowl-sized mugs with bags of ingredients for Christmas. They will have to add their own egg.

Back to my rant...

There are 30 new trees in the lobby this afternoon. It's a Junior League thing, or some such civic group. Teams can pay $150 to enter the contest, then they decorate a tree. I presume there will be prizes. It's to raise money for a childrens' charity. Still seems too early to be so thickly decorated. But I'm starting to get over it and hoping they start the piano recitals soon. A local piano company lends a grand piano, and local piano teachers bring their students to perform in the lobby. It's always fun to see the little kiddos plink their way through "Jolly Old St. Nicholas," which, as you should already know, is the easiest song to learn. And it is all single notes, until the final 3 notes which are the showstoppers: Chords.
