Have a recipe for a chocolate cake that I found in Southern Living years ago---it is to die for. Anyway, when I think about it-----yes would love to eat the whole thing, but it is so rich a little slice is all one can manage.

from our beloved internet:
Microwave Chocolate Cake for One
You can use any microwave safe mug for this. I prefer a larger mug (coffee-house style) because it is easier to mix the ingredients.
4 tbsp cake flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
pinch salt
1 large egg
3 tbsp strong coffee
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Sift together flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder and salt into a large coffee mug (or small bowl). Stir in egg, coffee, vegetable oil and vanilla, mixing until smooth. If you are mixing inside a coffee mug, be sure to scrape the corners well.
Microwave on high for about 3 minutes. Cake will puff up like a souffle and should appear to be “set” after 3 minutes. Cake will fall once removed from the microwave.
Serve in the mug, or turned out into a bowl, with a bit of ice cream or whipped cream.
Serves 1-2
it's not perfect, but it's darned close. add a few chocolate chips for a little added evil.

I've never wanted to eat a whole cake, but healthy portions of sweet things, for sure! Love making brownies and John Hoosier cake from scratch! Here's a wonderful recipe that I got from a friend at work years ago for smooth (non-overpoweringly sugery) delicious frosting;
1. 2 1/2 T flour
2. 1/2 c milk
3. 1/2 c sugar
4. 1/4 c margerine
5. 1/4 c crisco
6. 1 t vanilla
Gradually add #2 to #1 on LOW heat with whisk
Cool mixture in fridge completely
Beat 1-6 til firm
Enjoy!

I have this thing for Crystal hamburgers (good thing there are none around here) and once in '81 when I lived in Jacksonville, I got 12 of them....planned on freezing 6 of them. All 12 of them never got past my mouth. I just couldn't stop myself and called my friend crying. The poophead just laughed at me.
