Microwave Cake, take 5

You're probably sick of microwave cake by now. Sorry. I even swore to myself that I wouldn't post about it again because I'd written about it so many times. But, ladies and gentlemen, I was handed a new recipe, and the world flipped over, and I just have to write about it again. What is this, microwave cake take 4? (Here is where you say, "Behold, she writes blog post titles after she writes the actual post." Is that a problem?) I just looked it up; it's take 5. Lauren found this recipe and posted it on my facebook wall after trying it and discovering its wonderfulness. Since I've been making microwave cake on feast days since Lent started, I figured today would be the best day to try it. In case you don't want to actually click on the link to the recipe itself, I will give you my slightly modified version.

4 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 tablespoons white granulated sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 1/2 tablespoons Nutella (I don't like Nutella - a crime, I know, don't shoot me - so I used hot fudge)
3 tablespoons milk
splash of vanilla extract
3 tablespoons melted butter
(I added a 1/2 tsp peppermint extract)

And I made frosting with a little powdered sugar, milk, and 1/8 tsp peppermint extract.

The consistency of this cake is pretty miraculous in that it's EXACTLY like regular cake. It would probably be better to have more than one person eat it, because it's very filling.

Go make it right now.
