Chocolate Cake in a Cup

Who can resist being to able to whip up a great chocolate dessert in a matter minutes? Certainly not me!

I have to admit that I once tried a similar recipe to the one on eCurry, but the result was a very tough, rubbery cake.  It was obviously overcooked.  With the great photos of this one, I opted to give this one a try rather than tweak my previous failed attempt.

The chocolate cake turned out great.  If was cooked perhaps 10 seconds less, it would be much better.
