    Talking the quickest chocolate cake in the world: all done in less than 15 mins

    haha!!

    It really works and it uses a microwave !!! I actually never use my microwave as I dont like it but I tried this recipe and I love it!
    the cake is very fluffy and tastes lovely!!!
    It is a quick and easy way to make a cake for even an after-schooler to still be able to see the finished end product and even eat some!!

    You mix up all the ingredients with a hand blender for about 2 minutes on high (start slowly until everything is nicely mixed in then switch to high)

    Once the cakemix is made pour it into a prepared oven-proof dish.
    I used a glass bowl that I buttered and coated with flour/breadcrumbs to make sure the cake doesnt stick.

    a 800Wat microwave will bake the cake on high in 7-8 minutes
    if you think it needs a bit longer just give it another minute
    then leave to stand in the microwave for another 2-3 minutes without power on but with the door shut.

    turn out on a plate...and once cooled you can cover with chocolate or just icing sugar..or you could cut in half and fill with jam..cream..whatever

    here are the ingredients for the cake:
    100g sugar
    100g soft butter
    2 eggs at room temp
    100g plain flour
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 bit of salt
    a tbsp cocoa powder or 100g grated chocolate
    50ml milk at room temp
    a bit of rum (can leave that out)

    Thanks for that, will have to give that a try.

    My MIL does something similar and puts pears at the bottom and puts in in the microwave for less time and it comes out like a fondant - all gooey and yum.

    Thanks for that I will give it a go

    Never cooked a cake in the microwave so this will be a first - if you hear an explosion well you know where it will be coming from

    well mine was a first too...and all went well

    you just need to watch that whatever you use is obviously microwave safe

    the cake is only a small qty and can fit into a 1ltr dish (it will rise quite a bit)

    you can always double the qty and use a 2 ltr dish!

    I used to do one similar with tinned cherries in the bottom of a pudding basin and the cake mix on top, similar to a black forest gateaux.

    Thank you - I've never used the microwave to do anything more than heat baked beans or defrost stuff so will be interesting to see what happens with this!

    Did you microwave it covered with cling film or open? I've got it mixed here ready to micro once DH is in. The scrapes from the bowl were delicious.
