Nuked Cake

Microwave mini cakes seem to be all the rage right now. Understandable. We don't plan on touching our oven till October. But how do they taste? Has anyone made cake in their microwave? How's the texture? We're going to give this recipe from Romanian blog Papa Bun a shot. If the cake doesn't turn out, at least we got a good laugh out of the translated blog!
