Chocolate Cake...Microwaved!

Yes you heard me right! It's no secret I'm not a domestic goddess at all. So when my eyes rested on this wonderful recipe I found on the internet I was ecstatic. Nevertheless I couldn't help being a little suspicious as well. I mean really, how can a microwaved cake taste anything like the real thing right?

So ready-armed with all the ingredients, I set off on this little baking adventure. The whole process from the preparation to the baking (or rather microwaving) took only roughly 10 minutes.

After mixing in all the ingredients and whipping up the batter, I popped in the bowl (which I used to mix the batter in) into the microwave. How convenient is that? Two minutes later, out came a pretty little cake. Couldn't resist a bite, after all microwaved food should be eaten rightaway, yes?


The cake came out a little dry, maybe because I sort of skimmed on the butter a little. But overall, it's pretty delicious and just about right to serve one or maybe two. I shared it with my 2 roommates and they both liked it.

So if you have the time (oh cum'on it only takes 10 minutes..) go treat yourself to this wonderful little cake.

What goes in it:
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/8 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoon sugar
3 tablesoon soymilk (or 2 eggs whichever you like)
2 tablespoon cocoa powder

Whisk together the butter, sugar, soymilk (or eggs), cocoa powder, flour, baking powder in a microwave-safe bowl. I would recommend a ceramic bowl. I let it cook for 2 minutes (depends on what kind of microwave, if it's a little too moist, then just leave it for another 15 seconds or so).

Great for a quick sweet-tooth fixing!
