Molasses Cake
I love this recipe because you mix everything in one bowl. The spices in this gives this cake a interesting flavor. It is great served warm or at room temperature. It may be a no-brainer, but make sure your bowl is big enough to accommodate the ingredients and fit in your microwave. I tested this in a 8 inch square metal pan, but you can use glass also. Just make sure you decrease your temperature by about 25 degrees to accommodate. Metal retains heat better than glass.
You can store theses cakes at room temperature, covered in their baking pans, for up to three days. To be honest, mine did not last that long. The hubster ate some for a late nite snack and then the rest for breakfast in the morning.
