Recipe Introduction


In ryhmn.


List of Ingredients




1 ¾ cups self-rising flour (or add 2 t Baking powder and 1 t salt)
3 T cocoa powder
1½ C sugar
4½ oz butter
2 large eggs
1 C warm milk (heat 60sec on High)
½ tsp baking soda dissolved in milk
1 T oil
9 inch diameter microwave ring mould





Recipe



Take a bowl and sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt
Stir the sugar in, then do an awesome somersault

Sixty seconds in a jug, melt butter set to HIGH
Take a rest from exercises, rub that painful thigh

Add the eggs to melted butter, whisk it all around
Beat in oil, milk with soda, now it's off the ground

Make a well in flour mixture, in the liquid goes
Oh! you've tipped the bowl and now it's run down to your toes!

Touch your toes to wipe it off, now can you stand up straight?
Gently does it. Oh! Those muscles! Feel your heart pulsate

What a runny wet concoction it's turned out to be!
When it's cooked you'll understand, absorbed in gluttony

Grab the ring mould, pour the mix in, whoops it's going down
Through the centre hole, you've missed it now, you clown!

Never mind, it's not too much, now place it on a rack
In the microwave on HIGH, now don't go losing track!

8 to 10 long minutes, while you lick your lips with glee
Cool the cake on wire rack, then ice it carefully

Smooth that icing on the cake, it's time to decorate
Lollies, almonds, cherries, walnuts, all to meet their fate

What a sight! Now stretch your jaw, as now it's time to eat
Yummy textured, morish, scrumptious, melt-in-mouth cake treat

VARIATION:

If you're not a chocoholic, coffee's on instead
3 dessertspoons substituted, that will spin your head!

BY GUESS AND BY GOD ICING

Put a bit o' butter in a micro waving jug
Melt it in the microwave, then do the jitterbug

Now you pour in icing sugar, guess you can't go wrong
As you stir it 'round you start to sing a jazzy song

Throw a bit of cocoa in, now turning on the tap
Trickle some hot water in, then stir and give a clap

If the mixture's runny then you put more sugar there
If the mixture's stiff you put more water if you dare

Sugar, water, sugar, water, mix until it's right
If you can't you'll find you're mixing all throughout the night

In the morning, forty-six bowls sized from small to large
Empty packets, icing sugar, hey now! Who’s in charge!

Icing overflowing, setting, sticky in your hair
Caking up your fingers, up your arms with such a flair

Send out to the supermarket, sugar on the list
Quickly do the washing up, now don't get in a twist

Put a bit o' butter in a microwaving jug
Melt it in the microwave, then do the jitterbug.
