I tried this twice now, first time I used 1 tablespoon cocoa and a pinch of baking powder and got a pretty eggy result, tasty, but not as super as I was hoping for. The second time I used 2 tablespoons cocoa like the PBS recipe uses and a full 1/4 tsp baking powder, it was fantastic!!! I can't say for sure what made the difference, but I'm sticking with the second since the extra cocoa doesn't add that much in the way of calories and making sure I take the extra 30 seconds to dig out my 1/4 tsp to do it right. Yum!0 -

Just made this for the first time
2 mugs.
1) It came out raised as I was not sure that small amount of liquid would rise. It had the consistency of blamanche. It was quite airated and was quite firm to cut. 5 more seconds and it was that hockey puk. in the OP.
2) I put it on for less time and it came out a little less firm, of course. It had a more slimy consistency but as it cooled it set abit
Although they are not easy to get perfect, they do not really look much and I think you need to have it with custard or a cream one thing that they did ( only tried a little bit of each as I was experimenting) was kerb my wanting something sweet.
On that point alone they are a winner.0 -

Sounds delicious, especially with the peanut butter!
Could I use granulated Stevia instead of Splenda?

bump!!!!I found this recipe online at http://www.pbs.org/food/fresh-tastes/microwave-chocolate-cake/ but modified it to be sugar free for me (and it is flourless). I combined the two serving recipe to make a wopping one serving chocolate cake that is only 92 calories! I am posting the recipe below. You can do a search under food and enter 20 second mug cake and get the full nutritional information.
• 1 egg – beaten- 70 calories
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract- 6 calories
• 1 tbsp. Fat free milk- 6 calories
• 1 tbsp. cocoa powder- 10 calories
• 2 tablespoons sugar free Splenda- 0 calories
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder- 0 calories
1. Add the Splenda and cocoa powder to a small bowl. Add the fat free milk, egg and vanilla and whisk until there are no lumps. Sprinkle the baking powder on top and quickly mix together.
2. Split the batter between the two mugs and firmly tap the mugs on a towel-lined countertop to release any large air bubbles. Microwave one cake at a time.
3. Since you don’t want to start and stop the microwave a bunch of times, set it for about 40 seconds, and closely watch the cake. It’s done when the cake rises about half-way up to sides of the mug (about 20 seconds in a 1000 watt microwave). The difference between a tender fluffy cake draped in velvety chocolate sauce and a chewy hockey puck is a few seconds, so you'll need to experiment to see what works best for your microwave.
You can also spread with peanut butter (1 tbsp.) for only 80 calories more. I added some expresso powder (1/4 tsp.) to mine and it was yummy!!!0 -
