Truly a DANGEROUSLY delicious cake! Moist, divine, heavenly! My modifications: Instead of 4 T. sweet rice flour & 4 T. sugar I used 4 T. "Gluten-Free Pantry Old Fashioned cake & cookie mix". I substituted 2 T. carob powder instead of cocoa powder. I used 2 T. heavy cream & 1 T. water in place of milk a few times. Used 3 T. carob chips instead of choc. chips (try sprinkling them on top after mixing batter--they tend to sink to the bottom of mug). Our microwave took 2mins. & 15 secs. This is excellent with vanilla ice cream! The ice cream cools off cake so you can eat it immediately! This is so good, I usually say if the world ended today after I ate this cake, I'd be okay with it! -
Texture was what you'd expect from a microwaved "baked" product. Super easy to make. I think that it needs some salt. I might try it again with some salt to see if that makes it better. Great idea, though. -
Super easy and fun to make! Texture is not as good as oven baked, but it still gets 5 stars because it is great for something made in the microwave. It remained surprisingly moist, nicely sweet, and tasty. Too much for one person, though. For a 1500 watt microwave, try cooking for 2:22. Next time I'll try adding some peppermint oil for a peppermint cake. Would also be fun to add in sprinkles, marshmallows, cinnamon candies etc. -
We did this with regular white flour, but either way it is good and really fun -- great for kids to make! -
Lovely! My rice flour was not sweet and it wasn't noticeable. I made two cakes from this mix, perfect portion size in my opinion. Microwaved for two mins at 750w. Topped with creme fraìche and a Cointreau chocolate sauce.

Wonderful cake. I have made it a few times. I like the sweet rice flour version but it comes out a bit too gummy unless I did something wrong. I tried substituting a tablespoon of garfava flour for one of the sweet rice flour and it came out more spongy in texture. I also decreased the oil to 2Tablspoons and increased the milk to 4 Tablespoon. Now I think it's really great especially with some whip cream. It is wonderful to get a cake in 5 minutes especially since I live in a small town with no gf bakeries or supermarket selections. One more note to add my cake was done in 2 min in 1000 watt oven maybe that is why the first cake came out gummy. -
