Wow, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought you ladies would have loved this recipe so well or I would have posted this recipe ages ago. My sweet sister in law who lives in Washington D.C. fixed this little "cake" for us sisters in laws about 3 or 4 years ago and we loved it. I really thought that it was well known about until I had several of my friends over and we were suppose to have a get together and make something crafty...I am NOT a craft person so I thought of this cake thing that my sister had shown us several years ago so I did this recipe with the ladies of my group. The ladies had so much fun with this recipe, and were ooohing and aaahing...so the next day I gave you the recipe. I was surprised that it was not well known. I have now started using it with my husband and myself more again..as I had gotten burned out and I had not experimented with it like you have done, so I am taking some of your ideas and running with it. I use the large muffin paper cups for mine so I do not have any clean up. Someone had posted that there was spill over if you use the cup cake paper cups, but not if you use the large cupcake paper cups. I am tickled you like them. Thanks.

Jannie I saw that on the Dr.Oz show yesterday. I tuned in because I follow the Hungry Girl cooking show. She always comes up with good alternatives. If I remember correctly a slice of her version of chocolate cake was 170 calories. She used a box mix and club soda. Her cauliflower mac and cheese looked wonderful as well.

I'm still trying to find a happy medium. Today I made it in a (2 cup size) soup bowl, with the original recipe, cooked it for the 1 minute. It was the best so far, but not great, like some have said. I'm wondering about the 3 tablespoons; is that level, or heaping? I've used level; which do you use? Nanny98, I have a Corning ware dish 6 1/2 inch size; didn't know it was a "skillet." :-) Is that the size yours is? If so, I'll try that next time. Joann_fla, I'm going to try the double one when I figure out what to cook it in. Sue

My husband has been eating these for a while now and he makes it in a salad bowl, using heaping tablespoons. One minute is still long enough. Then he tops it with ice cream and syrup, or fruit and whipped cream. Currently he's eating pineapple flavored cake (blech) but he really liked the cherry chip. I'm not sure I'd serve this to company, though. I ate one and wasn't all that impressed with it. I'd rather have a cupcake or a brownie.
