Before I go any further, I would like to mention that although I have a microwave, I am not all that fond of it. Other than the occasional last minute defrost or a quick fix for frozen veggies, I dont really use it much. But when I found a recipe for microwave chocolate cake - in a cup - i was sold. Any time cake! Bliss! So here it goes -
This is really easy and quick. I added all the ingredients to my braun "mixing bowl", wizzed it all up for a couple seconds chopped up some cherries and chocolate
...and poured it into the little espresso cups....
...and cooked it for 2 min (YES 2 MIN!!!!) in the microwave! And they were done...
Their texture was pretty dense and all the chocolate and cherries sank to the bottom, but in terms of effort, these were incredible!
These would make a super fantastic warm dessert when you have no time (thats pretty much all the time ), just add a generous blob of fresh whipped cream!
This is also a great recipe for little budding bakers, it requires a bit of supervision with the measuring and the microwave time, but other then that they can make their own cakes!
Please excuse the *VERY* high iso in these pictures, the light was awful (it was a cold rainy day - how could I resit chocolate) but i just had to share!

ReplyDeleteI've tried a similar recipe before and it didn't come out to well, so will have to try this one and maybe I'll have more luck:) We have a recipe for a microwave chocolate cake that cooks for 5 min (in a ring pan) and when you are up late studying it is the best to quickly make for that energy to keep you going... I think just one mug (instead of a whole cake)would be a better option, especially for the waste line:)
