Ever want chocolate cake, but not really much of a baker? Now you are. Get ready for this.

Five Minute Chocolate Cake...made in the microwave.

It's true. I tried it. And it was not too bad! Obviously it is no gourmet, Top Chef worthy Chocolate Cake, but it will definitely satisfy a craving. Also, there are probably many possible opportunities for innovations. You could whip up a quick frosting, or use some peanut butter, add chocolate chips (which I did), use part applesauce/oil, cut the recipe in half and make even mini-er cakes, add fruit, add nuts, etc. So get creative. Or don't, and just make some really easy, super fast Chocolate Cake and eat it.
