Just googled an easy chocolate cake recipe since my toddler loves it and found a nice microwave chocolate cake recipe. Thanks to Madhura’s recipe. I made a little changes according to our family taste buds to the original recipe. With some preparation ahead of time you will be able to
impress your guests for sure. My hubby loved it and my toddler hogged onto it
LOL. So here we go!!!
Ingredients:
All purpose
flour: 1 ½ CupsSugar: 1 ¼ Cup (adjust according to your family’s taste buds)
Whole Milk: 1 Cup (room temperature)
Cocoa powder: 3 Tbsp.
Baking Powder: ¼ Tsp.
Baking Soda: ½ Tsp.
Vanilla Extract: ½ Tsp.
Vegetable Oil: 3 Tbsp. (Optional)
Lemon Juice: 1 Tbsp.
Procedure:
1.
Take
sugar in a mixing bowl and add room temp milk to it. Stir it till the sugar is
dissolved completely. Please adjust sugar according to your taste. I added
little less sugar since my family doesn’t like it too sweet.
2.
Once
the sugar dissolved completely, start sieving the dry ingredients in the mixing
bowl. Start with all purpose flour. Add cocoa powder, baking powder, baking
soda respectively. Sieve it nicely by breaking the lumps of cocoa powder and
baking soda with the help of a spoon.
3.
Whisk
all the ingredients together. There should be no lumps in the cake batter.
4.
Add
vanilla extract and oil to the batter. Oil is totally optional however it
surely gives a nice glaze and taste to the cake. It helps keep the cake moist. Whisk
everything together.
5.
Now
add the lemon juice and keep whisking until it’s well incorporated in the cake
batter. This will help to rise the cake since we are not adding egg in the
batter. Also it will help to make this cake really spongy.
6.
Grease
the pan with cooking spray or oil nicely. You may use butter paper in the
bottom. I usually use butter flavored cooking spray for all my baking.
7.
Pour
the batter in the microwave safe bowl. Tap the bowl lightly on the counter top
to take the air bubbles away from the cake batter.
8.
Put
this bowl on a microwave safe plate or dish so by any chance the cake oozes out
it will be in the dish and will not be a mess in your microwave.
9.
Keep
it in the microwave over high power for 5min.
10. Take the cake out with the help of oven
mittens and check with the help of a toothpick insert. Always insert the
toothpick in the center or middle of the cake, if it comes out clear that means
the cake is ready. If it doesn’t, keep it back in the microwave for another
minute. Check it again. At this time it should be done. Every microwave is
different so please check after 5min. however do not go over 6 ½ min all
together. If you over bake it, the cake will not be moist from inside.
11. Give
a 5 min standing time.
12. With the help of a knife try to separate
it from the edges, take a cooling rack and take the cake out (upside down). Let
it cool down on a cooling rack. Taddaaa your quick microwave chocolate cake is
ready.
