I don't "do" microwaves... but I wouldn't recommend it. This recipe is so amazing the way it is, I wouldn't want to fool with it. I have no idea… I don’t “do” microwaves… but I wouldn’t recommend it.

My Mother always made this as birthday cakes for our family (double the recipe, and cook in a 9 x 13 pan). We loved it so much! We called it "purple cake", because the cake was so chocolate-y that the light hitting on it made it look purple!). If I frost it, I make a homemeade mocha frosting. It can also be used for "Surprise" cupcakes---homemade yankee Doodles. Just bake as cupcakes, cool, and cut a cone shape out of the center of each cupcake. Fill hollow with homemade whipped cream, cut the sharp point off of the cones you've saved, and replace the top. Then frost with your choice of frosting. Yummmmm. Thank you!

The kind of flour you want to use will be labeled "all-purpose" (self-rising flour has added salt and baking powder). The vanilla is just vanilla extract. I prefer the pure vanilla extract, but the imitation is OK too. The vinegar is plain cider vinegar. Just be sure to keep all your measurements accurate, follow the instructions, and the cake will be wonderful! And happy birthday to your 3-year-old! No, you do not want to use self-rising flour.

As I am not overly confident about cake making I wonder if you could just confirm what flour it is presumably self raising, is it vanilla essence and what vinegar do I use. Please could you confirm. Thank you. Sharon “Mix in the Pan Chocolate Cake”
