Our oven is sadly, out of order, which only intensifies my need for dishes that require an oven, like... cake. I knew, with the ingenuity that exists in the world, that someone had to have a recipe for some cake-like-creation that could be made either stovetop or in the microwave.
Correct I was! Chocolate cake! Before we even start, let's detail the pitfalls associated with this course of action:
- Microwaved cake? Gross. Crazy times make crazy minds.
- Allrecipes? Why did I go there? I've never had a good recipe come from Allrecipes.
- It's worth repeating - cake in a microwave? Only Betty Crocker and her many preservatives seems to have found a way.
As you might expect, this was mostly nasty. While it had a vague chocolatey flavor and sweetness, it was dry in the middle and had a mostly chalky taste that was somehow reminiscent of baking sugar free goods, despite the real sugar I added.
We fight on, looking for non-oveny desserts.
