Oooh, thank you for the recipe and for the good wishes! I'm going to have to try this. I was wanting cake and this is perfect.

Let me know what you think. I think this is one of my all time favorite recipes.

Peg, I just tried the microwave cake. (I printed out the recipe when you linked to it a couple of days ago.) My father used to make a cake very similar to this; we called it Hot Fudge Pudding Cake and it was one of the dessert staples of my childhood. The fact that I can have a single-serving portion within ten minutes of deciding I want some is something I probably would've been better off not knowing.

Hope you liked it!

I LOVED it.

I am not, however, entirely sure that this is a good thing, as I may be eating it every night at least until spring...

I tried this recipe tonight, wow! I'm going to use a non-dutch cocoa powder next time just as a experiment. You might look at the recipe I posted on the 27th, yum.

I would be eating that all the time IF I lived in a home where flour and milk and cocoa powder and brown sugar were always on hand.

ah, the life of a college student. (we never buy milk because we can't ever finish it before it goes bad. that, by the way, is also why I don't buy loaves of bread anymore. the last third was always growing moldy, ew.)

It's probably for the best. *martyr-like*

Flour, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, and brown sugar are non-perishable and can be kept in a milk crate in the closet of your dorm room. And I made this last night with soy milk, and you can buy little one-cup thingies of shelf-stable soy milk. Admittedly, opening a one-cup box of soy milk just to use two tablespoons of it would have seemed really extravagant to me when I was a college student...BUT you can also buy powdered milk, which is both very cheap and shelf-stable. I would never drink powdered milk (yuck) but I bet reconstituted powdered milk would work just fine in this recipe.

And it's cheeeeeeeeeap. It's all cheeeeeeeeeeeeeap. Except for the Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream that I would so be topping this with if I had any around and could eat dairy right now.

I wish I'd known how to make this back when I was in college....

Get lactose-free milk. Tastes the same and lasts for about a month.
