I have a feeling it may be the flour Isaura.

I just used ordinary homebrand plain flour. And I did’t actually use any chocolate in this recipe, only the cocoa.

I tried this cake recipe some days ago but somehow couldn’t get the same result as you, my cake really wasn’t looking that good (but tasted fine). What kind of chocolate do you use? Maybe it’s coming from the flour I used, i’m gluten intelorant so I used tapioca flour instead of usual wheat flour.
Hopefully one of our readers can help with a gluten free version.

Hi, I’ve used this recipe about 5 time. I love baking. But the difference is that I use a mini bread loaf panthat I won as a Christmas doorprize that I thought I had no use for and it is perfect. It holds 1&1/2 cups. Just thought I should leave this note because when I use a mug, it looks funny. My friends beg for this recipe at school, IT ROCKS!!

Hi Judy, thank you for the suggestion on just using chocolate. I have had success with both so I guess it is a matter choice. I like the idea of adding the dates for extra flavor and texture.

Excellent Suzanne. Thank you for the tip. This is like the recipe that grew, it seems that there are so many variations. Each of the additions help to improve the texture and flavor.

I am just loving trying out each suggestion.

try altering the ingredients by adding 3 tbs of milk, 3 tbs of oil, 3 tbs of chocolate chips and a splash of vanilla extract.
a lot better !

I used S.R. flour for this recipe and cooked for 1 minute 30 seconds as I didn,t know what wattage my microwave was, it turned out fantastic, the first time I tried it as recipe (plain flour) and it was a disaster. I think the chocolate is better without the chocolate chips, I made another one without chocolate and finely chopped about 5 dates into it, it was great.

Hey Judi – I am not too sure how to adjust the time for your 700 watt microwave oven. I would think that it would take longer for a 700 watt to cook so if it were me I would increase it in 30 second lots and just keep checking to see if it is cooked.
