sgsguruChocolate cake, for those of us who aren’t into deferred gratification. About ten minutes from urge to plate, counting digging out the ingredients and cleanup afterward (if you don’t count soaking the mug).
From Instructables
Ingredients:
Microwave on “high” for 3 (1000W oven) or 4 (700W oven) minutes.
The cake will rise up out of the mug while it’s cooking, but it will collapse when you’re done. It’ll slide right out of the mug. The mug will be a lot easier to clean if you coat the inside with nonstick cooking spray first.
Makes one me- sized serving. I’d estimate it’s about two normal cupcakes.
This is the first bread/cake/muffin thing I’ve ever cooked in a microwave that has come out edible, let alone tasty. I suspect that the small volume is the key — there’s no way to get the microwaves spread evenly over a large area.
* I actually like a bit less.
