This two-minute microwave eggless chocolate cake
is the solution. Trust me.
It will
take just few minutes to measure the ingredients and bring everything
together. You don’t even have to be
precise, really! Give this quick chocolate cake recipe a try once
to get an idea. Then the next time you
have surprise guests over, assembling a dessert for them will be a piece of
cake. Literally.
Two-Minute Microwave Eggless Chocolate Cake
Recipe
Serves 1-2
3 Tbsp
all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp
unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tbsp
granulated sugar
⅛ tsp baking soda
⅛ tsp salt
1½ Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp milk
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Whether you prepare everything inside
one mug or mix in a bowl and transfer to other baking dish:
1. Mix
dry ingredients using fork or a small sieve.
2. Add
wet ingredients and mix, no lumps.
3. Microwave
on high power for 2 minutes straight.
4. Test
doneness with toothpick; should come out clean.
5. Let
cool down for 5-10 minutes then serve cake in mugs or invert onto a plate,
decorate, relish.
Serving
options:
once the cake is cooled dust some powdered sugar, and/or top it with whipped
cream, and/or drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce, and/or garnish with a
scoop of ice cream, and/or add some chocolate chips or nuts. Or as is. Still yum.
In the
microwave, if you keep an eye you will see the chocolate cake rises to the top instantly within 1 minute then
slowly falls down. (I love watching it!) So make sure your batter is no more than half the mug/baking dish otherwise it will overflow.
I like
this quantity of cocoa powder, but you might want to add ½ Tbsp more for a darker chocolate cake. But adding any more will make the cake bitter
(or add more sugar to balance).
Blunder Alert!
Once I
microwaved it for 3 minutes. Upon
cooling, the cake turned into a stone.
Oops.
