Microwave Chocolate Cake Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Ambimom / All my dishes 4 months, 2 weeks ago I've experimented with the recipes for chocolate cake in a mug and found that they have a weird gummy texture and odd taste that wasn't like any cake I had eaten. This version has the taste and texture of chocolate cake with which I'm familiar. Prep:5m Cook:3m Servings:2	Ambimom

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon corn starch

4 Tablespoons sugar

2 Tablespoons cocoa powder

½ teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients:

½ teaspoon orange juice

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 Tablespoons water

3 Tablespoons milk

3 Tablespoons vegetable (canola) oil

Optional:

½ teaspoon cinnamon

3 Tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

In 2-cup microwave-safe bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix well with a fork until combined completely.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing as you go until a rich batter is formed.

Place in microwave (1000 watts) on high for 3 minutes.

The batter will rise quite high as it cooks so you may want to put either a paper towel or paper plate under the microwave safe baking container, just in case.

You may need to adjust cooking duration according to the wattage of your microwave.

Let it cool after taking it out of the microwave for a moment or two before inverting on a plate to remove. It should come out quite easily.

If you sprinkle chocolate chips on the surface, they will melt enough so that they can be spread like frosting.

This sounds good, but I have one question. Do you grease the bowl?

No, you don't have to grease the bowl. There's plenty of oil in the batter. In testing the recipe, I've always used a glass pyrex food container and found nothing sticking. Easy cleanup. Just stick in dishwasher.
