I made this for my husband & I for Valentine's Day :-). I thought it was SO easy & pretty tasty, too. It does need whipped cream/ice cream since it isn't super sweet. I would have preferred more choc flavor so next time I may add mini choc chips to the batter. I used Splenda for the sugar, skim milk & fat free whipped cream. Thank you for sharing!!

I made a half recipe (for one) and microwaved for ~4 minutes on medium-high. I was surprised at how well it came out. The texture is moist, but holds together like a real cake and the flavor is chocolaty and not too sweet.
