Mastering the Microwave: the cup of miracles!

So it was my friend's birthday last week, here on Staircase O, and we decided to get her a present and maker her a cake! We found a microwave friendly recipe on Allrecipes.com and I thought it was actually pretty good considering it hadn't seen the real flames of an oven! We didn't quite know how much batter to put into the first one so we had a slight overflow issue, but aside from that it was quite a smooth operation...
