Betty Crocker Warm Delights

I got a sample of chocolate cake in the mail!! Automatically it is awesome because who doesn't love unexpected chocolate? When seeing these in the store, I didn't realize you had to add stuff and stir. Kind of a downer that you can't just pop it in the microwave, file your nails and ding! Chocolate!
Inside the box is a small plastic bowl, a little bag of cake mix, and a little packet of fudge icing. minus five points because I had to locate a measuring spoon. Direction one: Empty cake mix into bowl and stir in 1 tbsp water plus 1 teaspoon water. I had a tablespoon, but could only find a 1/2 tsp measure. Which of course meant added work. Not much, but still it stood between me and the chocolate cake.

Here I have added the mix and the water.
Then I artfully decorated the top with fudge. I am awarding extra points for the amount of fudge in the packet. There was enough for me to put it on the top of the cake and still suck a bunch of it out of the packet while waiting for the cake to cook.

Into the microwave for 30 seconds. Fast!
It is called Molten Chocolate Cake, but there really wasn't anything molten about it. Maybe they meant the warm fudge on top.

As for taste, it was a little chemical tasting. Not that that is a huge thing for me considering my usual diet of convenience foods, but in the interest of full disclosure, I wanted to mention it.

It tasted like warm cake mix cake. Okay, but not fantastic or memorable. I think it was also brought down by the amount of preparation I put into it. It would have been more tolerable if I could have plucked it out of the package and tossed it in the microwave instead of having to locate implements of measurement and dirty up a spoon to stir the mix.
