    "OOOOhhh my goodness" Super Delicioso!! added some chocolate chips and walnuts!! mmmm. My new favorite. I trade out one Tbl. of oil for 1 of butter and added a pinch of baking powder and instant coffee. Also use really good Cocoa, Ghirardelli double chocolate premium hot cocoa works awsome.

    Wow i loved it but as i am i am very forgetfull and i forgot to add the cocoa! i felt quite silly and tried again and OMG!!!
    Absolutly gobsmacking delicious!! i sent the recipe to all my family, 1st, 2nd,3rd and 4ths as well, and the response litrally was just where did you get that!!its amazing. So this is straight away to my recipe box.
    Good without the cocoa, but instead of the cocoa add cinnamin and spiced herbs (amount to your own liking and split into cupcake tins is your own cake cupcakes!!

    What an easy and delicious dessert! I followed the suggestions of some reviewers and used 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and melted butter instead of the oil. I divided the batter between 2 small coffee/tea cups and microwaved for about a minute. Topping with sweetened raspberries really set it off. I'll be making this again with chocolate chips mixed in.

    You can't go wrong with these ingredients. I made mine with the same ingredients, different measurements:

    3 T. unsweetened cocoa
    4 T. sugar
    1 T. flour
    3 T. milk
    3 T. veg. oil (canola
    1 egg white
    1/4 tsp. vanilla
    1 T. chocolate chips
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    I poured it into a large Ramekin and microwaved for 1 1/2 minutes. Two minutes makes it too spongy/dry. 1 1/2 minutes makes it more moist. Topped with Cool Whip. My husband and six year old loved it. Yummmm! I love how quick it is to make.
    Next time: I may substitute orange extract, coffee liquor (or instant coffee, or almond extract in place of the vanilla.

    If someone can come up with a low cal version and remove the 3 Tablespoons of oil, that would be great!

    I made the cake last night after reading a fabulous review of it in Food Network Magazine. I made the cake exactly as the recipe says, (except for I substituted the normal cocoa powder for a special dark cocoa powder from Hershey's but it came out spongy. Overall, it was pretty good for a microwave cake, but I would have cooked it for a little less time.

    I made the mistake of making the cake exactly as it calls for. I should have read the reviews first (like I normally do...It was too dry and tasted like chalk...my husband actually laughed at me as I spit it out..will definitely try some of the other ideas to make it better...

    Ok. Probably would've been better with chocolate chips.

    I was hoping this would be a 1 serving size of Emeril's microwave chocolate cake. It's not. This is chewy and just barely good enough to kill my chocolate craving.... I will just have to try to 1/8th Emeril's recipe. (you all should try his! I have friends asking for that over regular brownies/cake sometimes
