Hello HTS Community

Chocolate cake is one of the most popular cake flavours and everyone craves for one from time to time. I especially get a midnight craving for a decadent dark chocolate cake, and most of the times it’s too late to order or I am too lazy to bake one.

So here is quick recipe for all chocolate lovers who will now be able to make a chocolate cake within two minutes, with regular ingredients and that too in a microwave. The recipe is vegan and just uses a mug for a single serving. If you have time and would like to make a proper chocolate cake, do try my Rum cake recipe.

This is the most amazing midnight snack recipe, that everyone will love. I have tried it with a little bit of orange zest, sometimes with a super dark chocolate in between and even layers of caramel to surprise myself. It all works, it always works, because it it with chocolate. And chocolate should not be your guilty pleasure, because we have heard of some benefits of eating chocolate. You get me, right?? wink wink…. Another recipe that elevates itself with a little use of chocolate is a Zucchini bread, and is a must try.

Recently, I made this for my husband’s birthday at midnight, and it worked as a great last minute cake. We both enjoyed a mug full with vanilla ice cream. For a great birthday/ anniversary cake, I would also recommend Tres Leches, a Spanish three milks cake, that is the cake of your dreams.

Ingredients for Microwave Chocolate Cake:

• All purpose flour- 2 tablespoon
• Cocoa powder- 2 tablespoon
• Sugar- 2 tablespoon
• Baking powder- 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt- a pinch
• Plant based milk- 3 tablespoon (Substitute with regular milk)
• Vegetable oil- 1 tablespoon
• Vanilla extract- 1/4 teaspoon
• Your favourite chocolate- a few pieces

Steps:

• In a large microwave safe mug, mix all the dry ingredients.

• Gradually add each liquid ingredient and mix gently.

• Add chopped pieces of your favourite chocolate and mix lightly, or you can press lightly the entire piece in the middle for a gooey center.

• Microwave on high (about 800 watts) for 2 minutes. To check if cooked properly, insert a toothpick, it should come out clean. If required, microwave for another 15 seconds.

• Alternatively, you can also bake it in a preheated oven at 180 degree celsius for 15-20 minutes.

• Serve fresh strawberries or a scoop of your favourite ice cream on top.
