Who doesn't love chocolate cake? Yeah, I thought so...this is a clever way to get your chocolate cake fix without having to bake the whole thing and be forever tempted! When was the last time you whipped up chocolate cake in 5 minutes? Didnt' think so.....this is so quick and easy if you have a microwave and a large coffee mug! Can you say "YUMMO"?? :-)
