Secrets To Bake Perfect Microwave Cake
Ensure sure all the ingredients are at room temperature. Be precise with the measurement of the ingredients. A cake batter prepared with rightly measured ingredients always yields a perfect cake. Microwave the cake batter for exactly 5 minutes, covered at 800 watts. Covering the cake pan, use either the cling film or the lid. But covering the batter while baking is a must to prevent ending up with a dry cake. Any flavourless/odourless vegetable oil or olive oil is good enough for this microwave chocolate cake recipe. Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder. If you are using sweetened cocoa powder, adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. Lastly, do not mix the cake batter for more than 2 – 3 minutes. Once no flour streaks or lumps remain, stop mixing.
Cake Decoration
I stick to a simple chocolate ganache for decorating microwave chocolate cake. How to make it? Microwave ¼ cup of chopped dark chocolate with a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Whisk for a few minutes to get a smooth, spoon-dropping ganache. Needless, to say, don’t hesitate to embellish the cake with fresh seasonal fruits (strawberries, peaches, mangoes, pineapple, passion fruit, etc.) or chocolate curls and sprinkles.
Chocolate Mug Cake
You can bake this chocolate cake in individual coffee mugs, also. Divide the cake batter between two to three coffee mugs and bake in the microwave for 2 – 3 minutes. Half-fill the mugs, allowing the cake batter to rise and expand without spilling over. A gooey chocolate mug cake is ready to be relished with ice cream in less than 5 minutes. If you want to make these microwave mug cakes even more decadent, add a tablespoon of chocolate chips to each cup before popping them in the microwave.
Eggless Chocolate Cake
My eggless chocolate cake recipe is the perfect answer to the above question. It is fudgy, super moist, and so easy to prepare from start to finish. Or you can make this microwave cake eggless by replacing 2 eggs with ½ cup yogurt or curd. Make sure yoghurt is thick, not flavoured, and at room temperature.
