Yesterday was my son's 3rd birthday. Were thinking from last month that by yesterday I would be able to make a birthday cake for him on my own.
Since we don't have any oven or toaster oven, a microwave cake should be enough. Furthermore, I found a very simple recipe for a 3-minute chocolate cake with easy ingredients too.
So I give it a try.
I tried few times. There are times the cake appeared a bit hard. Sometimes too soft. I do experience with real cocoa powder instead of chocolate drink powder. Also replacing fresh milk with condensed milk. Quite few trials and errors.
And yesterday alhamdulillah the cake turns ok. Ok for an amateur like me.
Here is the recipe I used to make the birthday cake. Super simple and its done less than 15 minutes! And without oven!
BIRTHDAY MICROWAVE CAKE
8 spoonfuls Vico/Milo powder
8 spoonfuls self raising flour
8 spoonfuls brown sugar
8 spoonfuls full cream milk
8 spoonfuls cooking oil
2 eggs
Put all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well. Find a microwaveable bowl (preferably glass, but can use plastic), transfer the batter. Put in the microwave and set for 6 minutes. Once done, take it out carefully as it is very hot. Splash some chocolate syrup (or chocolate ganache) on top. Sprinkle with colour rice. Done!
This is actually for 2 portions of cake. For easy breakfast or hi tea, you can half the amount (4 spoonfuls of all ingredients and 1 egg), mix well and put in 2 small bowls or mugs. Microwave it for only 3 minutes. Tadaaa! Your chocolatey snack is ready.
No oven. No mixer.
So don't forget to try this easy peasy chocolate cake...no excuses for not making a cake if you don't have the oven!
