Who feels like Fudge Pudding Cake?  This tasty treat actually cooks IN THE MICROWAVE.  Best part is, if you have a well-stocked pantry you probably already have all the ingredients too. 

I suppose my preggo hormones have me crankin' for chocolate today, because I just had to share this with you Workerettes for the weekend.  I'll give you a recipe for something a little more nutritious tomorrow too - perhaps it will all add up to a nice, fast, easy dinner party!

What To Do:

• Mix flour, sugar, 2 T cocoa, baking powder and salt in a two quart microwave safe casserole dish.
