instant chocolate cupcake
Sep. 29th, 2008 11:56 am(for "instant" = ~5min) via a thread on Making Light: http://www.dizzy-dee.com/recipe/chocolate-cake-in-5-minutes
Haven't actually tried this recipe yet, due not having cake flour; haven't yet decided whether to actually go buy some or attempt to work around it-- the equivalent would probably work out to 3.5T all-purpose flour, possibly with the addition of 0.5T cornstarch. Flavor reviews around the web are mixed, but hey, it's instant cake.
There're also a number of variants, some of which sound more appealing than others-- one starts by combining one box each of commercial cake/pudding mix and dividing it into portions (probably adaptable by a book I have somewhere with its own recipes of homemake "instant mixes"); the one at http://www.bakingdelights.com/2007/11/09/quick-microwave-chocolate-fudge-pudding-cake/ is appealing from a logistic standpoint, in that the microwave time is substantially lopped down by using hot/boiling liquid.
(And on a completely different note, the radio discussion on in the background is making me want to throw something at the pastor who's piously arguing that stump-speeching for McCain from his pulpit shouldn't affect his tax status, and that the IRS regulations against this violate the separation of church and state.)
