I was looking around today to find new recipes to try. I guess I was feeling really lazy so I wanted to try something fast and quick yet amazingly delicious.
Well I stumbled upon the idea of "Microwavable Cake"- easy peezy, flavorful, and warm; a perfect desert to a rainy day. I decided to call it "Microcake" since... it's a tiny cake in a cup!
To be honest, I was quite disappointed... The cake was too packed and not so spongy as I expected. So I guess this is my failure cake :( I will try a new recipe from another source, but just in case you want to try this recipe and see how it works for you, then please tell me how it goes and if you added anything to the recipe to make it better!
Microcake (Microwavable Chocolate Cake)
difficulty: "a piece of cake"
time: 10-20 minutes total
ingredients:
1 large coffee mug4 tbsp. flour (not self-rising)
4 tbsp. sugar (I used granulated sugar this time, but I'll try Castor sugar the next time to see if there's a difference)
2 tbsp. baking cocoa
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
3 tbsp. milk
3 tbsp. oil
3 tbsp. chocolate chips
splash of vanilla (I used pure vanilla extract)
optional additions:
chocolate syrup
whipped cream
cherries
powdered sugar
directions:
1. Add dry ingredients to mug and use a whisk to mix thoroughly.
2.Add egg & mix thoroughly.
3. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. (You can use a small metal spoon to mix it.)
4. Add chocolate chips (optional), vanilla, mix again.
5. Set mug in the microwave & cook for 2½ to 3 min at 1,000 watts.
6. Cake might rise over the top of the mug depending on height of cup
7. Remove from microwave.
8. It will be VERY hot when you take it out of the microwave (personal experience- I burned myself while taking it out...) Allow cake to cool a little, then tip out onto a plate, if desired.
9. (Optional) Drizzle with chocolate syrup and powdered sugar and top with whipped topping and cherries
