Let me start off by saying I have had a super bad week. Both kids sick, one got so bad we ended up at the ER until 2am. Well today is Super Bowl Sunday and we ordered pizza. I know, I have a food blog, I should have made something... but it wasn't going to happen after the badness of this week. Anyway, after eating the pizza I realized we didn't have dessert and I wasn't in the mood to make anything that would take too long but I NEEDED chocolate. Cake in the microwave? Yes please. Here's how I did it:
Ingredients: (makes 4 servings)
3 Tablespoons softened butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
(optional) 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (you could also do walnuts or really anything)
Recipe:
I'm going to make this easy.
- Mix all the ingredients in the order I have listed into a microwave safe bowl (mine was a 1.5 liter Pyrex glass bowl).
- Put it in the microwave and cook it 2 1/2 minutes until it's spongy. Let it sit 2 minutes then flip in onto a plate. Tada. Top it with ice cream or whipped cream for even more goodness.
Review:
This was a lot better then I thought it was going to be. Serve it hot, it can't be saved because it starts to harden. This is a great last minute dessert using what you have on hand. I will certainly be making this again.
