Saw this microwave cake recipe from youtube Nicko's Kitchen, I couldn't resist trying it out... it looks so super simple and yet delicious... and on Sunday morning, I did it, with my dying multifunction oven's microwave function.
Ingredients:
1 cup flour (Self-raising. For AP Flour add 1/2 tsp baking powder)
1/4 cup 'stevia sugar' (or 1 cup sugar - I use 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 egg
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
There's no peanut butter at home so I left it out and replaced with 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Just dump everything in into a microwave safe bowl with big enough space for any expansion, mix well and then pop it in and set on HIGH for 3-5mins. 5mins works fine for me. When it comes out, it kinda shrinks abit while it starts to cool off, but that's good because it actually helps it to come out so easily.It just plops out onto the plate. The texture is moist and dense... just like a usual rich chocolate cake.
That brings me to this eggless (vegetarian) cake... from a request by another colleague... I have no chance to try it out but I found this recipe from an Indian cooking channel... which looks good.... I might just try it out once my oven gets repaired and comes back to me...
