Microwave Chocolate Cake in a Jiffy!!

I did not have any plans to bake that night but I had to make it because its been a tradition at our home since our marriage, to welcome each one’s birthday in the midnight over a hot cup of coffee and some good cake.  So made this cake in a jiffy for my boys for Midnight Birthday celebration, since the official cake was going to arrive only in the morning!!

Microwave Chocolate Cake in a Jiffy

Total Preparation Time: 20 Minutes

Serves: 5-6

Ingredients

• 2  cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½  cups sugar – (you can make it 2 cups if you like more sweetness)
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• I teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs
• ¾  cup butter softened

Directions:

Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder/soda and salt in a bowl and keep it aside. In a large bowl,  beat the eggs, sugar and butter till it blends well. Add the sieved dry ingredients slowly and fold it in. Grease the microwave-safe dish and pour the cake mix into it. Microwave on 60% power i.e., 480W for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, remove from Microwave and cool on a wire rack.

Since, it was close to midnight, I didn’t have any energy left to make hot chocolate fudge. Just melted some dark chocolate in the microwave for a minute and poured it over the cake.  Bling….Yummy Midnight Birthday Cake is ready. =)  This is one good recipe which came with the Microwave Oven purchase, which I often use.

Do try it!! It can be made in a jiffy even at midnightJ.
