YES YES YES!!!

I'm always up to a Pamela's challange :lol::lol: This is what I did:

4 TBS Pamela's

2 TBS cocoa powder

4 TBS sugar

1 egg

1 TBS oil

3 TBS milk

splash of vanilla

mix, microwave 3 minutes

It worked BEAUTIFULLY!!! I'm eating it in between typing :P

I just made this - YUM! It was the perfect amount for 2 servings. Next time I think I'll add some chopped nuts on top. Mmmm, thanks!

This could also be the perfect instant substitute for HoHos--after you dump it out of the mug, cut it lengthwise into 4 or 5 "logs," roll in buttercream, and drizzle with chocolate glaze!!

They wouldn't look like HoHos, not being rolled up jelly-roll style, but hey, it was always the chocolate/buttercream combination (especially the buttercream) that I liked so much, anyway!

Man, I've missed HoHos....

I've made this the last four nights. It works great. I used Pamela's Mix, regular milk and mixed in a few tablespoons of chopped nuts (no c-chips). Served it with unsweentened whipped cream.

My non-gluten-free dh loves it but dosen't believe it's gluten free. I'd serve this for guests.

If you haven't tried this you should.

Hey, guys! I'm loving all these variations and different experiences with the 3 minute cake. Just wanted to add, I picked up some small silicone bundt (sp?) cake pans and the dollar store the other day. Seriously, they were a buck each. They are nuke-able, so I made the cake in the little mold....they pop right out and look like a perfect little mini cake! Here's my big idea...

Make a big bag of the mix and keep it in the freezer. Then, for guests...

make the cakes in the little pans (just measure out the right amount for the number of pans you need...at 1$ each you can buy enough for a whole dinner party and still spend less than you would on one big one!), and while they're cooking throw some dessert plates in the freezer. Take the plates out, and drizzle melted chocolate (or just use chocolate syrup!) on the plates. Unmold the cakes onto the decorated plates, and sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar. Voila! very impressive, but very easy chocolate desserts! I even dropped some chocolate chips into the hole of the bundt cake (it doesn't go all the way through) and let them melt.

Hooray for fast cake!

The recipe sounds great, but the nutritional info has to be wrong. Anything that has butter, sugar, eggs has calories.

Ummmm.....

I think Walt was teasing.......

He doesn't actually think there's no calories......

Oh, no! So THAT's why I mysteriously gained 10 pounds since I went on the Chocolate Cake Diet....man, what a let down! LOL...that post had me going for a second there, too. Chocolate cake in 3 minutes....AND it's calorie free? Shucks, too good to be true!

After much experimentation, the following recipe is the one that I and my family like best.

1 coffee mug ( I prefer a small bowl)

4 Tbs featherlight flour mix

1/4 tsp xanthum or guar gum

4 Tbs sugar ( I like a little extra)

2 Tbs Hersheys Cocoa

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp baking powder

1 egg

3 Tbs milk or substitute

2 Tbs melted butter or margarine

1/2 tsp vanilla

I follow the other mixing suggestions, but put the cake in the microwave for 30-45 seconds and then add the chocolate chips (this keeps them from all settling to the bottom of the cake)

I only cook it for 2 min 30 seconds in my microwave, but cooking times vary.

Topping it with creme cheese frosting isn't necessary but sure is good!

And yes, it does have alot of calories, so it'll be a rare treat for me.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
