You can do it in a small bowl too...the resulting shape is nicer and it was even better with a little whipped cream on it.

3. you can do it in a small bowl instead of the cup and.....

and the result was a nicely tasting cake, that even had a nice shape from the bowl (and the oil makes it easy to transfer).

It was even better with a little whipped cream on it.

7. My cake making strategy usually consists of:

1.) Buy cake mix.
2.) Mix and cook following directions on the box.

I think I'll try this though, saves the "buy cake mix" step.

It also minimizes the "eat whole cake" risk.

I will be compiling these kinds of recipes for my son, for when he goes to college. (in a year :omgomgomg: )

16. That's brilliant!

It's a perfect portion size, too.

17. You have made my decade!!!

And the fact that it goes in the microwave and not in a hot oven makes it even more perfect. I'm also guessing that I could substitute some Splenda for the sugar, should I decide to save a couple of calories. Nahh, maybe not. ;)

:toast: :thumbsup: :loveya: :hug:
