5 Minute Microwave Cake Recipe
The demand for small-portion and even single-serve dessert recipes is increasing. This is due to the increase in the number of people living alone or as two people, as well as the fact that people do not want to eat the same food for days. In the past, if a dessert or pastry was to be made, one, maybe even two trays were made and eaten for days until it was finished. Nowadays, people want to eat a portion or a small piece when they have a sweet tooth, as if they went to a patisserie or dessert shop, and end their snacking there. An extremely justified approach. The number of servings in my recipes is generally small. Also, when I cook something, I save enough to eat for one or two meals and share the rest with my friends and neighbors, or I freeze it and eat it months later whenever I want.
In addition, I have many practical sweet snack recipes with small portions, such as no-bake cheesecake or tiramisu balls for 2 people. The 5-minute microwave cake recipe will also take its place among such recipes.
You can make different cakes with different flavors by diversifying the microwave cake with different ingredients. You can add flavoring ingredients such as hazelnuts, walnuts and coconut. You can add more chocolate to it and make it have a fluid consistency in places. I added chopped white chocolate on top. In this way, its appearance was also very nice. But white chocolate is not necessary, of course. You can also use milk or dark chocolate.
The microwave cake is cooked in the mug and in the microwave I used in 4 minutes, but it will vary depending on what you use. My advice is to open the lid and check every minute after cooking for 2 minutes.
My biggest advice about the cake is to eat it hot/warm after baking, before it cools down. Recently, microwaves that work like ovens have appeared. If you use that type of microwave, there will be no problem, but if you have a conventional microwave, the waiting may make the cake rubbery or dry. This also spoils the taste. In short, the recipe is a do-cook-and-eat-now recipe.
