Microwave Cake, take 2

My second attempt at microwave cake turned out far better than the first. At the suggestion of a friend (the instigator of the microwave cake mission), I tried this recipe: http://thenondairyqueen.blogspot.com/2010/02/cake-in-cup.html. It turned out much, much better than the first one!


(This time the white on top is homemade whipped cream.)

It was made in a large mug, and I think the only alteration I would make is to add more sugar. So maybe the answer is to combine the two recipes, since this was decidedly more chocolate-y than the first one. I do believe that microwaveable cake is entirely possible, albeit not quite as good as real cake. But I'm a college student, and fast, sweet, snack-like things are usually appreciated, even if the quality isn't superb.
