    Worked great, but very little flavor.

    Quick and easy! I added toasted coconut, pecans and topped with chocolate ganache......wonderful.

    This recipe is horrible, as a baker I questioned the measurements but just went with it. Way too much egg, maybe just the whites would have been better, and less oil for sure! Overall... disgusting.

    mine got stuck to the cup so it was oddly shaped so you should add to the recipe to grease the cup! other than that it was lovely!!! (:

    Used orange essence instead of vanilla- tasted good but a bit rubbery

    Excellent flavor, a little dry. I would recommend an extra 2 tablespoons of milk or not putting them in the microwave as long

    Cut the recipe in half and left out the egg (since other said it had a rubbery texture). Added white chocolate chips. Microwaved for 35 seconds and topped it with Cool Whip. Yum!

    It had a really bad tast. Too much coco!

    I didn't like it because of the rubbery texture, but I think it's because of the microwave !! Not the ingredients

    Just got done making this. It was ok. Flavor was good but the consistency was really weird almost rubbery. Seemed like maybe it got over cooked. Not sure I will try it again.
