Microwave Chocolate Cake
Submitted to recipegoldmine.com from the kitchen of Linda H.
This appeared on a tear out card I had in Good Housekeeping Magazine in the 1980's. Enjoy!
1/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup hot water, divided
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Grease round micro-proof baking dish, 7 1/4 x 2 1/4 inches or 8 x 1 1/2 inches; line bottom with plastic wrap (wax paper works well).
In a small micro-proof bowl combine cocoa and 1/3 cup water; microwave on HIGH (full power) 40 to 50 seconds or until slightly thickened.
In medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add oil, remaining 1/3 cup hot water, egg, vanilla extract and chocolate mixture; beat until batter is smooth and well blended.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Microwave on high 5 to 6 minutes* without turning until cake begins to pull away from sides (some moist spots may remain but will disappear on standing).
Let stand 5 minutes; invert onto serving plate.
Peel off plastic wrap (I use wax paper); cool. Frost.
About 8 servings.
Easy Cocoa Frosting
In small bowl combine:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa
1 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Beat to spreading consistency.
About 1 cup.
* Time is for 600 - 700 watt microwave ovens. I have a rotating plate in my oven - works fine.

Down South Nukin'View This Product at Amazon
This Alabama trio has everything a blues fan could want: impeccable taste; a steady, no-frills rhythm section; and in Microwave Dave Gallaher, a first-rate guitar individualist (Blues Revue, November 2003) Biography About Microwave Dave & The Nukes The Nukes long-awaited live album, Down South Nukin, produced by Johnny Sandlin, was released in November 2006. Recorded live at 2nd Street Music Hall, this cd captures the raw energy of the bands best performance to date. Entertaining U (Jacksonville, FL) Described Microwave Dave in February 2005 A dynamite, world-class blues show-from the bands first song I could tell that this amalgam was a first class outfit. Guitar One (January 2004) raved: Microwave Dave Gallaher damn near vaporizes his strings....To quote Frank Barone, Holy Crap! Chattanooga Times Free Press (February 2006): Microwave Dave cooks his blues. Fifteen-plus years of performances in the U.S. and Europe and five albums, with more on the way, have helped Microwave Dave & The Nukes establish a wide multinational audience. Venues vary from French soccer stadiums to Bike Week in Daytona Beach, from blues cruises on the Big Red Boat to neighborhood saloons, but the thousands of shows delivered by the band all reflect once core element: the heritage blues music enjoys as a lifter of spirits. As Microwave Dave puts it: Blues is Americas first, and still best, self-help program. 1 Road Runner 2 Hip Shakin' 3 20% Alcohol 4 Got No Automobile 5 Can't Stop Lovin' My Baby 6 Ray Brand 7 Body and Fender Man 8 From A Buick 6 9 It Don't Happen No More 10 Shot Gun Slim 11 Let's Say Goodnight 12 Hey Little Girl

The Willies with Bonus CDView This Product at Amazon
Bonus CD: Scary Sounds of the Night
A harmless backyard camp out becomes an unforgettable night of chills and thrills for three young boys as they share their favorite scary stories.
They each take turns at giving each other "The Willies." The stories come to life, each more horrific than the last. The poodle in the microwave, a tasty fried rat, and a haunted house that really can "scare you to death." But the next two stories really happened...
All the fifth grade bullies loved to pick on Danny Hollister. No one believed Danny when he discovered a monster in the school bathroom--until the bullies began to disappear, one by one.
Mean ol' Gordy Belcher was a creepy fat kid whose only friends were bugs. His problems magnified (literally!), but what can you do when you're attacked by a bug bigger than you are?
When it seemed the camp out couldn't get any more terrifying, our boys discovered just how true scary stories can be. Tonight, they'll definitely get "The Willies."

Next came A Man, a Can, a Grill: 50 No-Sweat Meals You Can Fire Up Fast.

Real food-so good that no one will ever guess your secret is in the can."
Now there's A Man, a Can, a Microwave-and all those "dudes" who helped put the "Grill" book on the New York Times how-to bestseller list will be pleased to know that David Joachim and the editors of Men's Health haven't lost a beat. The 50 guy-friendly, nuke-able meals using packaged ingredients are fun to make and great to eat-and include such tasty dishes as "Italian One-Dish Fish," "Teriyaki Beef with Broccoli," and "Painless Paella." With step-by-step recipes and full-color photos, A Man, a Can, a Microwave, like the previous books in the series, is a perfect gift for anyone learning to cope in the kitchen.

The Moms' Guide to Meal Makeovers: Improving the Way Your Family Eats, One Meal at a Time!
View This Product at AmazonFor the legions of harried moms who have tossed in the dishtowel on cooking healthy meals (or any meals!), the easiest-ever guide for bringing super nutrition back to the kitchen.
Getting dinner on the table night after night can be a challenge. So it’s no surprise that busy moms often rely on fast food, takeout, and convenience meals like macaroni & cheese, chicken nuggets, and fries. The kids love it but the drawback is that little twinge of guilt moms feel every time they feed their family another not-so-healthy meal. At the end of the day, many children end up with a poor diet high in sugar, saturated fat, and calories … a major factor in the rising rates of obesity.
Finally, here are realistic guidelines designed to give families a healthy meal makeover.
The Moms lay out a 5-Step Meal Makeover Plan, explaining how to market good nutrition to kids, establish food rules, and make life easier in the kitchen.
In The Best of the Bunch chapter they reveal which brands of kid convenience foods–hot dogs, frozen pizza, and more–are the best tasting and most nutritious ones out there.
The Moms show how to stock a healthy pantry and whip up delicious anytime meals using pantry staples.
They even serve up 120 reworked recipes for family favorites such as Fast-as-Boxed Macaroni & Cheese, Squishy Squash Lasagna, Cheesy Broccoli Soup, Sweet Potato Fries, and Chocolate Pudding with Toppers.
