Chocolate Cake in a Cup



[ts]
I don't even remember how I came upon this recipe. Seeing it, I thought it was a must-try! Since we we don't bake much and hence, wouldn't have any baked goods lying around the house, I thought this might be a quick fix during those "I really want a chocolate brownie/cake" moments.



[ts]
Flour, sugar and cocoa powder go into a cup. An egg follows, followed by some oil (or butter, I suppose). Vanilla extract, if you roll that way. In the microwave for a couple of minutes and voilà!



[ts]
Mine was a tad overcooked because I followed the 3-minute cooking time. I will have to microwave it for much less next time. It's not the best, but how can one argue with an instant chocolate craving fix?

    This is perfect for the instant chocolate fix - too bad I don't have a microwave, but I'm sure it'd be fine in the oven... They look like lava cakes - delish!

    Hope you get to enjoy chocolate very soon!

    Manggy:
    Hehe, these are bad news. Now one can make chocolate cake whenever, in no time. Although, they are no substitute for real, fudgy brownies. Mmm.

    pigpigscorner:
    Haha, that's the bad thing about this. Next thing you know, one will be making chocolate cake left and right. ;)

    Are there specific measurements? Or is it just like experimenting with the whole thing?
