Probably the fastest cake you'll ever make, with a preparation time of less than four minutes from wanting it to eating it.
This recipe is for a sudden single portion of chocolate cake freshly baked on demand. It uses simple ingredients mixed in a paper cup (or a normal cup) and blasted to steamy cakeness in a microwave.
Here's the recipe:-
3 heaped teaspoons of white sugar.
3 heaped teaspoons of self-raising flour.
1 heaped teaspoon of cocoa (optional)
Mix those dry ingredients in the cup to get a consistent colour, making sure you catch the stuff hiding down at the edges of the base.
Add two level teaspoons of oil.
Add two 25ml shot-glasses of milk (50ml)
Mix all ingredients to a paste and then slam in the microwave and nuke for one and a half minutes at full power.
Eat hot cake. You can also drizzle it with chocolate sauce, cream or a sweet liqueur if you wish. (Or indeed all three.)

    7 years later, what do we need to do for you to make this a proper side channel?

    This – if I had had this 20ish years ago then I would have never learned to cook – I only learned to cook because I wanted cake, and had neither cake, nor the means to immediately go out and get myself cake.

    If you have no self rasing flour, mix all purpouse flour, baking powder and salt with the ingredients

    Wow, that looked nice.
    I can just imagin the shareholders at Mr Kiplin crapping themselves as Sainsbury and Tesco shift their stock across to make a slot for new BCCC (Big Clives Chocolate Cake) 😀

    Here's my question: With the recent developments on the channel, could we expect to see an "electrified" version of this cake?
