OMG just tried this thinking how could it possibly work and it was sooo yummy. It was moist, fluffy, and oh so yum!!! My husband was very surprised when he walked in to find a chocolate cake made in less than 5 minutes!!
This could be very dangerous!! So easy to make and ready in 3 minutes!! Yummo!!
LOL just made one, and it absolutely erupted over the cups edge … absolutely gorgeous cake but very glad i put a plate under my cup haha… note to self invest in a MASSIVE cup next time hehe
I halve everything, i tried full recipe and too much came out of the cup snd it was a big cup. i also use gluten free sr flour and it comes out perfect.
In México don´t sell self rasing flour, what sould I use instead??
Hi MJ, do you have plain flour? Self Raising Flour can be replaced with Plain Flour with the addition of a two teaspoons of baking powder per cup of Plain Flour.
