microwave Chocolate Upside Down Cake

[SEIowaEditor]

I need help with a microwave-specific recipe.
Years ago, my mother made Chocolate Upside Down Cake in the microwave. She thought it was pretty simple, but has misplaced the recipe.
Originally, we thought it only contained four ingredients:
1 cup flour; 1 cup sugar; 1/2 cup cocoa; 2 cups hot water.
The fact is - it was the ugliest looking cake I've ever seen, but it was so good. It was a combination cake and pudding.
Any thoughts. Let me know.

Hi SEIowaEditor,

I couldn't find the recipe you are looking for in any of my microwave cookbooks! I did find one for pineapple upside down cake, but not the chocolate one. Sorry! Maybe one of the microwave web sites would have it? I hope you can find it! Good luck!!!
